Corvette Pinball Machine
Corvette is a fast, high-energy pinball machine released by Midway in 1994 and designed by legendary pinball designer George Gomez. It’s the only Corvette car–themed pinball machine ever made, and because many examples live in private collections, it’s not something you often find on location.
You can play Corvette pinball in Green Bay, Wisconsin at District 82 Pinball Arcade, a popular Green Bay arcade known for its large selection of well-maintained pinball machines.
Pinball Machine Features
Corvette is all about speed, flow, and mechanical flair:
- Three flippers and three ramps for fast, flowing gameplay
- Raised drag strip lane along the right side of the playfield
- Unique engine shaker motor used to capture balls for locks
- Engine can be controlled in certain modes to shake the ball back and forth
- Upgraded color DMD for brighter, clearer animations
- Updated playfield lighting that highlights the artwork and shots
- Hidden face in the backglass, visible only when the flashers fire (similar to Pin•Bot)
The shaker motor and engine toy make this machine feel alive in a way few others do.
