A RESOLUTION1
To commend the organizers and participants of the 2014 National Corvette Caravan and2

WHEREAS, the first generation of the Corvette was released in 1953; the car quickly4
became emblematic of American precision and design, and after more than sixty years on5
the market the Corvette has maintained its rightful place as one of the most extraordinary6
feats of American innovation; and7
WHEREAS, there are many ways for owners of this unique example of Americana8
to show their Corvette pride, but few more spectacular than when thousands of Corvettes9
from all over the country make the pilgrimage to Bowling Green, Kentucky, for the National10
Corvette Caravan; and11
WHEREAS, it is a journey, an exodus, an adventure, and, in a way, a cause that12
shows the world the passion that drives Corvette owners and the unique bond that brings13
them together from the farthest reaches of the continent and even beyond that and other14
countries; Corvettes from every generation begin their quest, joining with other cars along15
the way, forming spontaneous parades that sometimes stretch for miles that finally converge16
on the National Corvette Museum in Bowling Green; and17
WHEREAS, stops are often planned along the way to make the drive even more fun;18
stopping at attractions to become attractions themselves where the public can witness this19
legendary automotive phenomenon; and20 HLS 14RS-4949 ORIGINAL
