Ron Fellows Honoured with First Signature Corvette Ever
Chevrolet Introduces Ron Fellows ALMS GT1 Champion Corvette Z06
"Last Saturday at the Canadian International Auto Show, Ron Fellows made a surprise appearance to introduce the Ron Fellows ALMS GT1 Champion Corvette Z06 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 colour scheme of the car's paint and graphics represents the national livery.
Mechanically, the Fellows Corvettes are the same as the standard street-going Z06, developed in conjunction with Ron Fellows' C6.R Corvette that races in the American Le Mans Series and dominates the GT1 Class."
