And the first Corvette bodies made by Goodyear Aircraft in Akron Ohio
As a young kid my dad who worked there took me on a Goodyear Aircraft open house and I can remember seeing Corvette bodies stacked like dominos against the wall.

Never knew that Mike. Goodyear did some amazing things back in the day. My buddy Denny found a crated Goodyear inflatable airplane in the air dock rafters several decades ago. He said it went to the Smithsonian. Phil

That's the GM Assembly Research Center (GMARC), located on the north east corner of the Flint Assembly complex, where the first 300 cars were built.

Every Fourth of July, sparkly fireworks illuminate the sky. But, haven’t you always wondered why it’s a tradition to set off explosions of light in the sky on Independence Day? It's certainly a day for celebration, but why fireworks? Why not just stick to barbeques and all things red, white, and blue? Well, you can thank famous historian John Adams for it.

Before the Declaration of Independence was even signed, John Adams wrote in a letter to his wife that the occasion of America’s freedom “ought to be solemnized with Pomp and Parade, with Shews, Games, Sports, Guns, Bells, Bonfires and Illuminations from one End of this Continent to the other from this Time forward forever more.” And so, it was.
