| The factory was originally an [[air conditioning]] plant, but GM purchased it and refurbished it for automobile use. Bowling Green took over Corvette production from GM's [[St. Louis, Missouri]] plant as of [[June 1]], [[1981]]. Most of the 900 Corvette workers from St. Louis transferred to the new plant. Once production of the C4 Corvette stopped in 1996, the plant was again gutted and rebuilt to prepare for the more modern C5 Corvette.
