One Millionth Corvette title
One millionth Corvette ceremony
A lot occurred between June 30, 1953 and July 2, 1992: one million Corvettes were built! Considering the humble and precarious beginnings, the Corvette milestone was one few could have predicted.
1,000,000th Corvette
The color choice for the one millionth Corvette - white with red interior and black roof - was appropriate. This was a nod to the 1953 Corvette, whose entire production run of 300 units featured the same livery.

Handshakes and thumbs up were plentiful for the celebration of the 1,000,000th Corvette. Left: Left to Right: Zora Arkus-Duntov, E. Michael Mutchler (GM VP), Billy Jackson (Prez, UAW local 2164), Jim Perkins (GM VP), David McLellan (Corvette chief engineer), and Paul Schnoes (Bowling Green plant manager).
Center: Billy Jackson (left), Jim Perkins (right) with Paul Schnoes in the center.
Right: Forget the executives from headquarters or the politically connected headliners. These two men are the ones Corvette aficionados look up to: Zora Arkus-Duntov (left) and Dave McLellan, the past and present Corvette chief engineers.


1,000,000th Corvette birth certificate Borderline corny department: A birth certificate was issued and some of the credits were appropriate: note the "Birth Mark", Race and Parents.
750,000th Corvette
The 750,000th Corvette - also a C4 - was built on October 26, 1983. Other landmarks: the 500,000th Corvette was built on March 15, 1977 and the 250,000th was built on November 19, 1969.

I have a 92 Vette. How can I find out what number it was in the production run. Since it is a 92 it is either 1000000 + or -
