This is from Auto blog when you read the article there is at the bottom a link Autoblog.com click it and read about your XLR and you will see Plant pictures with descriptions of what there doing. Pretty interesting how the Corvette and XLR have so much in common being build.

This is the main reason I keep saying you dont want ot miss this National Corvette Homecoming. Why, because you have been given a personal invite to attend. They are going to roll the RED CARPET out to all of you XLR attendees. To the best of my knowledge this has never been done before. What that means to you is that there will be many surprizes awaiting you. Be sure you go to all the tech meetings these are so interesting. You want to be sure and go to the dinner they will have all kinds of stuff that they will auction off money going to the Corvette Museum. It will not surprize me if you see a lot of XLR stuff being auctioned from the Plant. GM is a MAJOR contributor to the Corvette Museum.
IMPORTANT, If you even think you may go its critical that you make your reservations NOW. THIS WILL BE A SOLD OUT EVENT. THERE WILL BE NO ROOMS AVAILABLE if you wait. You can always cancel if something comes up. But you will only be heart broken if you can go and cant get a room.

Everyone that attended RIII knows that Cadillac and General Motors hosted a reception with dinner at the Country Club so we would see the unvieling of the 2009 Model XLR. The hospitality and food was outstanding. We all were invited to partake in the plant tours and seminars and as was mentioned in another thread the tour is pretty long with lots of walking. I was fortunate as they provided me with a wheelchair and an attendee from Chicago pushed my wheelchair. We all got to see the last Artic White XLR produced.
Fred, have you ever been to Bowling Green and taken the factory tour?
