Roy Orbison’s 1967 Corvette

Here is a video I captured at the National Corvette Museum in Bowling Green Kentucky. It features two 1967 Corvettes. One belonged to Henry Younger and the other belonged to Rock Star Roy Orbison.

According to the National Corvette Museum’s website (a link to the article is below), Henry Younger pleasantly surprised his fellow National Corvette Museum board members on Monday, December 5, 2016, by giving the museum his 1967 Big Block. "I had spoken with Gary Cockriel about giving the automobile as a gift a number of years ago, but I wasn't sure when I wanted to donate it. I figured my final board meeting would be appropriate. Henry asked his other board members to make similar, significant donations to the Museum in the future.

Also according to the National Corvette Museum’s website (a link to this story is below), the red 1967 Stingray that previously belonged to the rock star & six-time Grammy winner Roy Orbison is also on exhibit. Roy Orbison's talent and accomplishment in the music business would land him a position in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame with nearly two dozen Billboard Top 40 hit singles, including "Only the Lonely," "Crying," and "Pretty Woman." Orbison owned numerous Corvettes over his lifetime, but his particular daily ride was a crimson '67 Stingray. He would travel to the studio to record albums like Mystery Girl and The Traveling Wilburys. Factory side pipes, air conditioning, chrome step plates, a 4-speed manual transmission, electric windows, and power steering are among the characteristics of the car. Roy bought this 1967 Stingray as his final Corvette before he passed away.
