Our 2009 Hall of Fame inductees were selected as part of our recent 4th quarter NCM Board of Directors meeting. Early Corvette design team member, Duane “Sparky” Bohnstedt; Corvette historian and writer, John P. Hinckley and Corvette racers, Anthony “Tony” DeLorenzo and Gerald (Jer) Thompson will be inducted into the Corvette Hall of Fame as part of our 15th Anniversary Corvette Celebration over Labor Day weekend.


*Duane “Sparky” Bohnstedt – Instrumentally involved in the design of the 1954-1957 Corvettes and passenger cars and a member of the design team responsible for the three Corvette variations for the 1954 GM Motorama Corvette. Bohnstedt was also part of the design team that initiated the facelift resulting in the four tail light rear end design (forerunner of the Stringray design) introduced in 1961 and the front end with the flip-up headlights in 1963. These changes also led to the new fast back, split window roof.
*John Hinckley – Recognized for achievements that span over 40 years in technical contributions to Corvette, engineering and ingenuity as an expert historian and writer. Hinckley was also part of the team collaboration that resulted in the “Net Design and Build” concept and has published hundreds of Corvette technical articles for Corvette publications and for internal GM publications and trade journals.
*Tony DeLorenzo and Jer Thompson – A Corvette racing duo that dominated the SCCA racing and finished one/two 14 times in races where they entered two Owens-Corning Fiberglas (OCF) Corvettes. Their success in FIA long distance races included a 1st place finish in the 1969 Grand Touring at Watkins Glen 6 Hour; 1st place finish in Grand Touring in 1970 at the 24 Hours of Daytona; 1st in Grand Touring in the 1970 Sebring 12 Hour; and 1st in GT finish at the 1971 24 Hours of Daytona.
