If the words that come to you mind when talking about Chrysler or Vette owners are selfish, bluffer or pampered, you should revise that. Cause after the disaster in Haiti, car companies have quicky directed their attention to the hapless by donations and future money is expected from the auctions scheduled.

Chrysler announced that it was donating a 300C and now General Motors is following up on its $100,000 cash donation with a special edition Corvette.

Back in 2008, the company designed 427 Special Edition 2008 Corvette Z06 models with former Corvette Plant Manager Will Cooksey’s signature and vehicle number on the center console. The Special Edition Z06 is also the only 2008 model that sports Crystal Red Metallic Tint Coat paint, a Stinger-style stripe on the front hood and fascia and a painted Z06 spoiler. This particular Vette becomes more prestigious due to the fact that it is the 427th and last copy of the limited series. The Z06 will be auctioned off at the 39th annual Barret-Jackson event on January 23.

Very thoughtful, though, honesty, unexpected.
