DID YOU KNOW: The 1981 Chevrolet Corvette was the first model year to be built simultaneously in two locations. The first Corvette assembled at the new Bowling Green, Kentucky plant was completed on June 1, 1981. Conversely, the last Corvette to roll off the St. Louis assembly line did so on August 1, 1981. Also, there was a high number of colour choices available for the 1981 Corvette. The reason for the increased number of colours (including some duplicate choices) was that different types of paint were used at each of the two assembling plants during production.
