This past Sunday, CBS aired a segment on its Sunday Morning Show all about the Corvette, highlighting the launch of the 2014 Stingray.
The comprehensive piece takes the viewer from the birth of the iconic American sports car through its many designs.
It includes Rick Hendrick, owner of Hendrick Motorsports, taking a spin with correspondent Lee Cowan.
“The Corvette was just the ultimate car,” Hendrick tells Cowan. “I mean, it was -- you had the styling, the power, all the girls liked them.”
Hendrick has one of the largest private Corvette collections in the world, with nearly 150 in his stable. He said he met his wife, Linda, while driving a Stingray.
“She rode with me in that first Corvette, on our first date, and it broke down,” Hendrick recalls. “She wasn't very impressed.”
That collection is housed in Hendrick's Heritage Center which is not yet open to the public.
Here's a link to that segment called “Corvette: An American Classic Renewed”
