A custom-built, specially painted Chevrolet Corvette honoring Vietnam-era Prisoners of War is now on display at the National Corvette Museum in Bowling Green, Kentucky. The car, which consists of parts from three vehicles, is painted in the gray-and-white scheme on the C-141 StarLifter transports that were used to fly American POWs out of Vietnam in 1973. The car features an image of a C-141 and an eagle breaking through barbed wire on the hood and the POW-MIA logo on the removable top. The car took more than 3,000 hours over fifty-one weeks to rebuild and paint. A team of eight Reservists and active duty Air Force members at Wright-Patterson AFB, Ohio, created the Corvette.
