The National Corvette Museum is going to suspend tours of GM’s Bowling Green Assembly Plant from February five, 2024, for an unspecified quantity of time.

In an announcement created to the non-profit’s site, it mentioned that tours would be suspended “due to manufacturing advancements” at the Bowling Green internet site.

Chevrolet is properly progressed in the improvement of the new Corvette ZR1 and a plethora of heavily camouflaged prototypes have been spotted testing in current months. The vehicle manufacturer may possibly be also creating tweaks to the Bowling Green internet site to accommodate the production of the ZR1. There’s also a great likelihood that it will quickly start off to assemble and/or set up ZR1 components at the internet site and does not want anybody to see them just before the vehicle is officially presented to the planet.

Road &amp Track speculates that the 2025 model year Corvette Stingray is also in line to get some considerable upgrades and Chevy most likely also desires to hold it away from prying eyes. In a statement issued to the publication, the museum’s media relations and marketing and advertising production manager, Mariah Hughes, mentioned there’s no set date as for when tours will recommence.
