Yesterday was a special day for Chevy dealer and Corvette collector Dave Ressler. Mr. Ressler owns the oldest known 1953 Corvette , and had the winning bid on the first 2009 ZR1 off the assembly line at the Barrett-Jackson auction this past January. He took delivery of the car at the Corvette Assembly Plant in Bowling Green yesterday.

The auction price was $1,000,000, with proceeds going to the United Way.

Congratulations to Mr. Ressler. Hope you enjoy the car for a bit before it goes into your museum.
