Where is Mary Lou's Little Red Corvette
The WVSI is on a fact finding mission. Like Indiana Jones hunting down a priceless artifact of historical signifgiance, I'm going into the jungle's of Fairmont to find the most celecbrated car in West Virgina history. Mary Lou Retton is of course the WV native who won the all around gold medal in gymnastics at the 1984 Olympics. When Mary Lou came home she was awarded a brand new 1984 Corvette that was immortalised in the song, "Little Red Corvette," by Prince. Since 28 years have gone by the Corvette has been lost to time.
