As I understand it, the first Corvette rolled off the assembly line on June 30, 1953. In 2008, the United States House of Representatives passed a resolution that June 30th would annually be known as "National Corvette Day".

Correct Mike Yager of Mid America Motorworks started ‘Drive Your Corvette to Work Day’ in 2001 - the last Friday of June (closest to Corvette’s actual birthday) to celebrate America’s sports car

More info located here: https://www.mamotorworks.com/corvett...ve_to_Work_Day

So, this year we get to celebrate twice

I bought my vette a beer. She's underage so I drank it for her.
