Rick Hendrick, Dale Jr. on hand for ceremonial start of production
Today at GM’s Oshawa, Ontario, assembly facility, dealer and motorsports impresario Rick Hendrick and Dale Earnhardt Jr. were on hand to ceremoniously kick off the start of production for the Camaro convertible models, which are scheulded to land on showroom floors in February. Hendrick is buying the first Camaro convertible available to the public, which will presumably be the 2011 Indy pace car “festival” car that sold at Barrett-Jackson’s Scottsdale auction a couple of weeks ago for $225,000 (proceeds went to charity). Hendrick also bought the first 2010 Camaro coupe sold to the public.
