If you want a tour of the Corvette assembly plant in Bowling Green, Kentucky, or if you want to pick up your brand-new car there, you have until September 14 to make it happen. After that, according to a report in The Detroit News, the factory will close to retool for production of the next-generation Corvette, the C7. No timeline has been given for how long the assembly lines will be hidden from public view.

As for what they'll be building, for a car that has endured as much focused speculation as Roswell and Area 51 (and seemingly for just as long), it's a testament to the Chevrolet development team that we can still only guess. As for putting pictures to the theories, we've seen a rendering that some have suggested has real clout, we got a look at the front fascia a few weeks ago, a speculative visualization video a couple of days ago that we really hope is off base and, naturally, spy shots. We don't know when it will be revealed but, relatively speaking, it shouldn't be long now.Bowling Green suspends tours ahead of next-gen Corvette production originally appeared on Autoblog on Wed, 22 Aug 2012 14:30:00 EST.
