Ron Fellows Honored with First Signature Corvette Ever

Last Saturday at the Canadian International Auto Show, Ron Fellows made asurprise appearance to introduce the Ron Fellows ALMS GT1 Champion Corvette Z06 (that would be zed-oh-six north of the 49th) and sign some autographs for his loyal Canadian fans. This special Corvette Z06 is the first signed special edition in Corvette's 54-year history. It's also the first Arctic White Z06 ever offered, and only 399 are planned for production.

Fellows hand-signed each special-edition Corvette himself as it came off the production line. All Fellows Edition Corvettes come in Arctic White paint accented with racing-style fender stripes in Monterey Red Metallic stripes with Machine Silver borders and Fellows' autograph in a contrasting Victory Red shade, along with the callouts of the championship years when he was at the wheel. There is also a maple leaf logo motif incorporated with the graphics, a nod to Fellows' Canadian heritage. Indeed,

even the red-over-white color scheme of the car's paint and graphics represents Canada's national livery.

Ed Peper, Chevrolet general manager said, "Ron Fellows is a part of Chevrolet's racing heritage, and he has been instrumental in the remarkable success of the Corvette Racing team in the American Le Mans Series. The special signature-series Z06 model that bears his name will forever link him to one of the greatest eras in factory racing, which has produced six consecutive ALMS GT1 manufacturers' championships and counting."
