ROCHELLE – Classic car fans and Corvette enthusiasts may want to clear their morning plans Tuesday.
Rochelle Petro officials are expecting approximately 200 Corvettes to make a stop at their station to fill up their gas tanks, take a little break and get some food.
In honor of the 25th anniversary of the National Corvette Museum, the sixth national Corvette Caravan will be taking place all across the country, ultimately finishing at the museum in Bowling Green, Kentucky. The caravan takes place every five years to align with the museum’s milestone anniversaries.
Starting from various cities throughout America, it has been dubbed the world’s largest moving automotive event and participants plan for it years in advance.
“I think it shows that we have the facilities to accommodate large groups of people and we have the equipment to produce large amounts of food, even on short notice,” said Knight. “It will also give a good awareness to these Corvettes traveling through that if they are going to come through again someday, that they will be sure to stop in and see us again.
