All Dem (St. Louis) Corvettes

[Blue Goose]

I saw this picture and 'lil ditty on a vintage St. Louis timeline...

On This Day in St. Louis History, March 25:

1979 General Motors announced it as re-locating the Corvette Assembly Plant. 'Vettes had been built on Natural Bridge since 1954. G-M officials said they would meet with Mayor Conway and state officials and try to find a site in St. Louis or at least in Missouri. But rumors said a decision had already been made to move Corvette production to Bowling Green, Kentucky.

*Note* While the timeline is about the loss to St. Louis of the Corvette plant and the picture has Corvettes from that plant, The timeline of the picture doesn't match the story.

*Also Note* The yet to be completed Arch in the background.....It would be later that October month of '65 the 'keystone' section would be lifted/put in place. Also in the background is 'The Old Courthouse'. The Old Courthouse was the site of the first two trials of the pivotal Dred Scott case in 1847 and 1850. It was also where Virginia Minor's case for a woman's right to vote came to trial in the 1870s.
