Officially, There were no 1983 Corvettes. There were forty seven 1983 Corvettes made but none were ever sold. The National Corvette Museum has the only 1983 known at this time. The new Corvette plant in Bowling Green, KY closed in October of 1982 to begin retooling for the 1984 Corvette. Production began in January of 1983 and the press received their first view of the 1984 Corvette in January of 1983. In February, the first production 1984 Corvettes were sold to the public. In March of 1983, the 1984 Corvette officially went on sale in the United States, except for California and a month later, in April, the 1984 Corvette went on sale in California. By October of 1983, the plant was in full speed production.

Trivia: Pop music singer “Prince” released the song, “Little Red Corvette”.

Have fun tonight

Happy Birthday!

Those plates are lovely. The design is so intricate.

I don’t want to be 25 again. It cost too much to get here where I am. I was just looking at your Etsy site. Funny how you can look and look and not see everything. I’m pretty sure I hadn’t seen your work before, but it’s loverly. I especially like your hand-carved stamps. Are they roullettes? (not sure how to spell that)

I have a pottery blog here, too, but you have to click my name, then click the Jenny Gulch link on my other blog’s blog roll to get there. A quick suggestion in case you haven’t already tried it. On the blue glaze with the snowflakes . . . I didn’t get a close look at the crystals, but sometimes a slow cool will help you grow crystals, particularly between 1900 and 1700 degrees Fahrenheit. That’s how I matte my micro-crystalline matte glazes, though I don’t do macro-crystalline work. Maybe the stars will line up and that will help.

God bless,

Cindy

Yup, feels like something special is in the wind……
