Dave McLellan to be a featured guest at the Corvette Funfest

Tue, 18 Aug 2009

Dave McLellan, who presided as chief engineer for the fourth-generation Chevrolet Corvette, will be a featured guest at parts-seller Mid America Motorworks' annual Corvette Funfest in September.

The Funfest brings together 14,000 Corvettes and 45,000 Corvette enthusiasts over a three-day weekend at Mid America's campus in Effingham, Ill. The event includes seminars, entertainment and--of course--plenty of Corvettes.

McLellan took over from Zora Arkus-Duntov as Corvette chief engineer in 1975. He guided development of the C4 Corvette, which was launched in early 1983 as a 1984 model. He also started work on the C5 fifth-generation car before retiring from General Motors in 1992, handing the chief-engineer duties to Dave Hill.

McLellan also helped launch the Corvette Challenge Race Series in the late 1980s. He is a member of the National Corvette Museum Hall of Fame and author of the book Corvette From the Inside.
