A Bowling Green-built auto continues its streak of awards.
The Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, made at the General Motors plant in Warren County, has been named North American Car of the Year at the North American International Auto Show.
The Stingray has already won best car of the year honors from Automobile and Autoweek magazines.
The press preview days for the North American International Auto Show kick off with the awards. The announcements came Monday morning at Cobo Center in Detroit.
The truck of the year winner is the Chevrolet Silverado.
The Chevy sweep came after General Motors made the most appearances on this year’s list finalists. Others included the Cadillac CTS and Mazda3. Truck/utility finalists included the Acura MDX and Jeep Cherokee.
Forty-eight automotive journalists vote on winners from the list of finalists.
A vehicle must be all new or substantially changed for eligibility.
This is the 21st year for the awards.
The Cadillac ATS took top car honors last year.
