Manufacturing departure from the C-5 to C-6. This is an interesting departure from the normal opeating procedure. The Bowling Green, KY plant is not going to shut down for the changover to C6 production.. The C-6 will get built the same time as C-5 for a while as the C-5 gets phased out in sections of about one to five cars to start.

I have heard this before and it sure sounds good. However, I have seen a Chevy announcement that the C6 build starts July 19th.

With the slow sales of the 2004 C5 maybe they will start production sooner ????
