Brad Paisley Visits Corvette Plant

Country music superstar Brad Paisley experienced a dream come true Monday when he toured the Chevrolet Corvette plant here and got to watch his very own custom-ordered ZR1 Corvette come off the assembly line.

Paisley greeted and thanked the GM workers as he walked the line learning how Corvettes are made. Once his vehicle was finished, he was given the honor of pushing the button for the first start.

“Touring the Corvette plant and actually seeing my car get the finishing touches on the assembly line was sort of surreal – like a big boy’s dream,” says Paisley. “All the employees at the plant were just great – from the new plant manager, Dave Tatman, to all the workers on the line. Thanks for a great day and making the great American sports car!”

Tatman, Bowling Green plant manager says, “I enjoyed watching Brad follow his car through the assembly line and the interaction he had with our employees. There was an excitement in the plant today. Anyone who orders a custom-made car from us can have this same experience; it’s not just for celebrities.”

Chevrolet National Promotions Manager Phil Caruso says, “Brad has become an American icon in the country music industry, and is a true Chevrolet advocate. Brad’s a natural and organic fit with Chevrolet. It’s great to have Brad share his passion for Chevy with the many Bowling Green Corvette plant employees.”
