New Corvette Plant Manager Arrives

Bowling Green is proud to welcome Bob Parcell as the new plant manager of the General Motors Bowling Green Assembly Plant. Parcell began work for GM in 1979 as a co-op student, and most recently served at president of Cami Automotive, a joint venture between GM and Suzuki in Canada.

"If you are in this business... the business of building cars, this is a dream job. We've all dreamt of one day running the Corvette plant," said Parcell.

Former manager, Paul Graham, has moved to Arlington Assembly Plant in Texas to oversee the production of conventional and hybrid versions of the Tahoe, GMC Yukon and Cadillac Escalade.

Members can enjoy a full article / interview with Bob Parcell in our September / October issue of America's Sports Car magazine... hitting mailboxes this week! Not a member? Find out more information and sign up here!
