(April 6, 2015) DETROIT — It is an annual rite of spring that means baseball's opening day is just around the corner — the Tigers play the Minnesota Twins today.

A Velocity Yellow Corvette Z06 and a special Midnight Edition Silverado eased into their parking spaces high atop the Chevrolet Fountain behind centerfield in Comerica Park last week. Each vehicle was lifted into place by crane — a three-hour process. 

“As the Official Vehicle of Major League Baseball, what better way could Chevrolet show our love of the game than by giving our vehicles a bird’s eye view of our hometown team?” asked Paul Edwards, vice president, Chevrolet marketing.

Chevrolet has sponsored the fountain, which features an array of water displays and the sound of a tiger growling with each Detroit home run, for the last six seasons. The brand chooses select vehicles from its lineup to display each year.

“We like to think of these vehicles as the Chevrolet cheering section to drive those centerfield home runs,” Edwards said.
