SHERIDAN, WYOMING – July 3, 2026 – A single enthusiast's phone list and decades of road-tripping turned into what may be the largest Corvette formation ever assembled, after Larry Courtney organized roughly 300 Corvettes into the shape of an American flag on Detroit's Belle Isle over the Flag Day weekend. Drivers traveled from 11 states to take part, and Chevrolet backed the gathering by bringing its new Stars & Steel-edition Corvettes and the upcoming 2027 Grand Sport to the site. For Courtney, a retired car enthusiast who has spent years organizing group drives and meetups, the event was less about spectacle and more about what a shared car culture can do for the people inside it — a theme that runs through nearly everything he's built since retirement.
