Last night I found out that the man who drove the very first Corvette off the assembly line had a home here in Bondville and is buried in the cemetery down the street from me.

What an interesting bit of automotive trivia...and I am not being ironic or sarcastic. How in the world did you make this discovery?

That's a good question. A resident at the retirement home that I work at has a C-4 Corvette and he was telling me that he was at the post office in Bondville and a woman in her 90's with a walker said to him nice Corvette what year is it? Long story short he ended up in a conversation with her and she told him how her husband had driven the first Corvette off the assembly line.

FWIIW: For those of you that may subscribe to Discovery+ they have an interesting documentary series on "How It's Made" about super cars. The one that I just watched on the V12 Ferrari FF was fascinating.
