"It's an amazing sight to see the transporters filled with Stingrays heading to customers in all corners of the country," Dave Tatman, plant manager of GM's Bowling Green Assembly Plant said in a statement. "The pride at Bowling Green is overwhelming and it shows in the tremendous quality and attention to detail going into each one of these new Corvettes."a

The 2014 Corvette Stingray coupe begins at $51,995 and a convertible, starting at $56,995, will begin production at Bowling Green assembly by year's end, GM said.
