Here’s the high-quality documentary-style video we’ve been waiting for. Savage Geese takes a deep dive into the making of the C8 Corvette at the Bowling Green Assembly Plant. The video clocks in at over 40 minutes long and it’s one of the most detailed looks into the operations at the plant you can see without actually being there.
Jack from Savage Geese bought a new 2023 Corvette Z06 and had the opportunity to follow the car down the assembly line. Along the way, he talks with many of the people who assemble the Corvette. We get their perspective on what it’s like to build America’s Favorite Sports Car, and what it means to them personally to be part of the Corvette family.

This Week’s Owners’ Corner
George K. Part #5 of 5 (to read past editions, Click Here)
The undercarriage was extensively hand and steam-cleaned revealing a totally rust-free frame and original suspension components. Several pounds of Pikes Peak dirt were removed from atop the frame rails. Only Sunoco 110-octane racing fuel was pumped to ensure trouble-free performance. This has to be one of the strongest running ’62 fuelies out there.
The driver and passenger carpets were replaced to maintain a fresh appearance. A complete new aluminized exhaust system was installed to replace the headers and racing exhaust which had to be cut out using a Sawzall tool. A stock-appearing Hurst T-Handle shifter replaced the oversized unit. New original equipment US Royal tires were fitted on the Kelsey-Hayes 15×5.5 wheels. All the chrome and stainless exterior brightwork is original to the car.
Given the Daniels family ownership of the dealership, they were in the unique position of being able to retain possession of the complete dealer file of paperwork. Elizabeth confirms that her father had kept extensive meticulous records of the engine rebuild, maintenance, and service performed; however, following Bill’s death Susan thought they were worthless, so she disposed of them.
Finding an early high-performance Corvette with the kind of pedigree, provenance, history, and authenticating documentation has been the highlight of my 60-year history with the marque.
The car was then sold to the husband of Elizabeth Daniels, who bought it as a surprise birthday present for her. She was in tears of joy when she received it..
