• The Bowling Green plant assembles more than 35,000 Chevrolet Corvettes and 4,000 Cadillac XLRs per year.

• Production each day ranges from 150 - 170 Corvettesand approximately 16 XLRs.

• There are 387 suppliers from which the plant receives 1,376 parts. Seventy-seven percent of the car is made in the USA and Canada.

• From start to finish, each Corvette spends approximately 36 hours winding seven miles of conveyor systems in the plant.

• In the paint department, body panels spend ten hours winding two miles on a conveyor system.

• Body panels receive three coats of paint: primer, color and clear coat. Corvette and XLR body panels are composite fiberglass, except for the front and rear bumpers, which are urethane.

• The Cadillac XLR is built on a separate line from the Corvette. They share the same frame and both use fiberglass body panels.
