Retired Corvette Assembly Plant Mgr Wil Cooksey Shares His Tale on GMNext


Wil Cooksey
was named plant manager of the world’s only Corvette plant in February of 1993. As a lifelong fan of the car, it was a dream job come true. "If I could get the opportunity to work at the Corvette plant, and just try to do the best Ican...maybe one day I could be influential.” - Wil Cooksey.  

Under his guidance, the Corvette has received numerous awards including "America’s Best Automobile of the Year" by Automobile Magazine, "Best Premium Sports Car" by J.D. Power, and "Best Sports Car" by Money Magazine. In May of 2002, the Bowling Green Assembly Plant was awarded two prestigious awards. J.D. Power & Associates named Corvette as "Best in Segment" for the second year in a row and recognized the assembly center as North America’s Silver Plant. Hear Wil’s story, see video clips as he shares his passion and more now on GMNext.
