Corvettes in China

1958 'Vette with standard accessories Years ago Your Business Blogger tooled around town in a vintage 'Vette. Pictured with factory options. The blond came (and went) with the machine.

It didn't have 12 cylinders. But it was a product of marketing perfection that got better over the decades.

The late 50's Corvette profile has become the car-guy subliminal imprint. A peculiar American case of brain damage. Suffered by gnarly-car guys who bend wrenches and needles. American Men. Marlboro Men.

I thought.

Except I now have proof that all males the world over have this marketing image in the manliness DNA. Even to the other side of the world.

China manufactures cars. And makes a very good Chevy product. Chinese auto manufacturers wanted to sell the new models a recent car show.

And used a late 1950's 'Vette to advertise the show. The old girl attracts. And seduces men the world over.

Thank you (foot)notes:

So I sold the 'Vette to buy a Ph.D.. I took the Corvette off the pedestal. Charmaine has been there since. Not a bad trade.

But I did buy more Corvettes. And I did put girls in them not my wife.

Mudville Gazette has Open Post.

Argghhh! has open backtracks.

Read what Peter Thinks on more manufacturing moving to China.
