Overview
In 1988, a special customer support team was started at the Corvette manufacturing facility in Bowling Green, Kentucky, called the "Corvette Action Center". This team was designed to provide technical information directly to Corvette customers and dealerships. It consisted of Danny Hawkins, Harold White, Sonny Kilgo, Gordon Killebrew, Jerry Watts and Ed O'Keefe. By the time the Corvette
Action Center was shut down around 1995, the Center was receiving approximately 200 calls per day via the toll-free phone number. This Corvette Action Center you see here originally started out as a small New Hampshire based Corvette web site and has been under development since January of 2000. The site actually went live on the web on April 1, 2000 and our Community Forums were started September 16, 2000. The prime directive of the Corvette Action Center is to promote the awareness, preservation and enjoyment of the Chevrolet Corvette and help educate owners and enthusiasts by providing a professional and reliable online source of Corvette news and information. We consider the Corvette Action Center to be a major informational repository and in a "continuous state of improvement". The information contained within is constantly being updated in order to insure that it is reliable and consistent. The engineering of the site is also under a constant state of development in order to make room for future additions and to insure that site navigation and informational access is quick and intuitive. Highlights
The Corvette Action Center has a central structure which is comprised of focal "centers" in order to organize features and information in an easy to use layout. That structure is briefly summarized below:

This section is divided up by Corvette generation and then into major subcategories that cover the main areas of the Corvette such as "Body Parts and Trim", "Electrical and Ignition", etc. The information contained within comes from Chevrolet/General Motors Service Bulletins, Chevrolet Service News, and other reliable sources of information. This is one of the sections of the site which is in a "continuous state of improvement". As more information becomes available to us, the Knowledgebase is updated appropriately. Tech Center: This is the third major section of the Corvette Action Center. It provides specifications, production codes, VIN code information and performance reviews for all model years of Corvettes and specialty models.
