Brad Paisley Has a Special Corvette Named After Him

If you have seen the video for Brad Paisley's 'Welcome to the Future,' you might remember the three different Corvettes featured in the clip. Knowing what a big fan of the car he was, Chevrolet invited the singer to take part in a Corvette Dream Giveaway contest in which one winner would drive away with not one, but two Corvettes, one of of which is a one-of-a-kind Brad Paisley Hero Edition Corvette ZR1, painted ermine white with red stripes. The other is a restored 1967 Corvette Stingray convertible. Both cars were presented to Brian Landgren of Washington over the weekend, with all proceeds going to the Kids Wish Network's Hero program, of which Brad has been involved with since 2001.

For the car nuts, some of the specs of the Brad Paisley custom car include a 6.2 liter V8 engine with a performance upgrade system producing more than 720 horse power, which is more than a standard Corvette's 638-hp. If you were to look under the hood, you would also find Brad's signature.

In August, Brad toured the Chevrolet Corvette plant in Bowling Green, Ky., and watched while his own custom-ordered Corvette came off the assembly line. Once the vehicle was finished, he was given the honor of pushing the start button. "Touring the Corvette plant and actually seeing my car get the finishing touches on the assembly line was sort of surreal -- like a big boy's dream," Brad said. "All the employees at the plant were just great ... Thanks for a great day and making the great American sports car!"

Chevy also happened to be the title sponsor of Brad's H2O World tour last year.

Fresh from his pre-race show at this past weekend's Daytona 500 where he drove the official pace car (not a Corvette), Brad will hit the road again on Thursday, February 24, when his H20 Frozen Over tour will thaw out slightly in Orlando, Fla.
