Which car company manufactures the Chevrolet Corvette?

The car company that manufactures the Chevrolet Corvette is Chevrolet.

Chevrolet is a marque and division of General Motors, commonly abbreviated GM. The Corvette is Chevrolet’s flagship sports car and has been manufactured and marketed under the Chevrolet name since its introduction in 1953. General Motors provides the corporate ownership, while Chevrolet is the brand associated with the vehicle.

The Corvette’s manufacturing location has changed over time. The first cars were assembled in Flint, Michigan, and production moved to St. Louis, Missouri, in 1954. Since 1981, Corvette production has been centered in Bowling Green, Kentucky, where the modern assembly plant remains closely associated with the model.

A frequent mix-up is confusing the manufacturer with the parent company: Chevrolet manufactures and sells the Corvette, while General Motors owns Chevrolet. Pontiac, Dodge, and Ford have produced competing sports cars, but none manufactures the Chevrolet Corvette. The Corvette has also used generation designations from C1 through C8, covering its development from a small 1950s roadster to a mid-engine modern performance car.
