Building 1,500,000 of just about any complex machine is a serious milestone, but it’s much more than that to the motoring spirit of America when it’s the Chevrolet Corvette. Today General Motors announced the production of the 1,500,000th Corvette at its Bowling Green Assembly plant.

Along with the announcement of the sales landmark, Chevrolet released pricing on the 2010 Corvette Grand Sport. The standard coupe GS starts at $55,720 and the GS convertible starts from $59,530.

“The Corvette Grand Sport achieves a 0 – 60 time in less than four seconds, pulls 1.0g on the skid pad and still boasts an impressive 26 highway mpg,” Chevrolet product marketing director Karen Rafferty said.
