| SAE International - Twin Cities' Section May 2007 Dinner Meeting |
| Meeting Date: May 9 |
| Corvette – Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow | |||||||
|
| During its 50-year plus history, the Corvette has developed into much more than an automotive nameplate. It has become one of the world’s most recognized automobiles. How the Corvette came to be one of the most popular sports cars in the world -- and the longest running nameplate in Chevrolet history -- is a rich and compelling story that combines engineering, politics, passion, performance, design and popular culture. |
| Author and Corvette Quarterly magazine editor Jerry Burton takes us on a journey through the history of Corvette, from the fledgling days under first chief engineer Zora Arkus-Duntov to today under Tom Wallace where the sixth-generation Corvette has become a new performance benchmark for two-seat sports cars. |
| Jerry Burton is the author of Corvette, America’s Sports Car, Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow, Hugh Lauter Levin (2006) and Zora Arkus-Duntov, the Legend Behind Corvette, Bentley Publishers (2002). |
| It is hoped that a local Corvette Car Club will be there with vehicles on display prior to the dinner. |
| Please note: No one under 16 allowed. |
| Attendance limit for this event is 90!! Make your reservations early!! |
