The Factory of Dreams is an Excellent Gift for Classic Car and Corvette Enthusiasts

Check out this collectible Corvette book. For a number of years, the St. Louis Corvette factory defined a way of life for thousands of St. Louis area workers, including Granite City business owner, Mike Dixon of Dixon Heating & Cooling. A business man through and through, Mike started out gaining experience building new corvettes for a living.

In 1981, the assembly line at the St. Louis Corvette plant halted for good. “It was a combination of track on the floor, pushed hand carts and what workers called a ‘knife-edge’ conveyor.” ~ Vette Magazine.

The plant shut its doors and production moved south to Bowling Green, Kentucky, but the memories remain and Mike Dixon decided it was time to share his experience in the story. The Factory of Dreams is a rare product for collectible items collectors.

On August 1, 1981, the St. Louis Corvette Assembly came to a final halt, and the last Corvette built there rolled out of the factory. My dad was a lover of classic cars and loved perusing at car shows. If he were still on this earth,

I’d buy him this book as a gift from my heart because I know he’d enjoy it. Moreover, if you know someone in a Corvette Club interested in collectible Corvette items, then this book will be a great gift for them!

There Are Really Two Stories Told In The Book

One is about making the car. Moreover, it’s a peek into the life of an auto worker in the 1950s and ‘60s. This was a time when the industry was at its peak for its workers in St. Louis.

Furthermore, it shares an engineering triumph, by St. Louis and automotive engineers. It’s about the startup of the plant. However, it’s also about the history of the cars and the men who built them. Melissa Meske ~ Advantage News

Dixon Now Has His Hands On a Corvette as an Owner

Furthermore, he has five classic cars and enjoys taking them to Classic Car Shows, including his 1972 red convertible corvette, with its value being sentimental and not just monetary. In other words, Mike had a part in putting this one together when he worked at the factory. Are you looking to get a classic car?

I did a VIN search, determining when and where it was built. From that, I know it is one that I dropped the body on. And it only took me 40 years to own it, Dixon said, laughing.
