Ed O’Grady isn’t your average car salesman/Sales manager. His journey to becoming a Corvette specialist at Central Chevrolet is a story of dedication, service, and a love for all things automotive.
Ed’s path began with education in Chicopee, South Hadley, and Granby, Massachusetts. After some college, he enlisted in the USMC in 1992. His service took him to Camp Pendleton, California, where he honed his skills as a forward observer radio operator with Fox Btry 2/11 1st Mar Div. He also served deployments on the USS Rushmore LSD-47, USS Tripoli, USS Ft. McHenry, and USS Cleveland during his time in the Persian Gulf.
His transition to the civilian world was impressive. Starting with Honda, Mazda, Acura, and Jaguars, in Southern California. Ed’s natural charisma and salesmanship quickly made him a top performer. His philosophy of “building relationships, not just selling cars” has resonated with customers throughout his career.
In 1998, Ed joined Central Chevrolet, quickly finding his niche in new car sales. His passion for Corvettes led to him becoming Corvette certified in 1999, solidifying his place as a Corvette expert. A short stint as a sales manager at Classic Chevrolet (part of the Central Chevrolet family) from 2008 to 2013 further honed his leadership skills. He returned to Central Chevrolet in 2013 and has been a sales manager ever since.
Ed’s dedication extends beyond the showroom. He’s an avid bowler, golfer, and, of course, a Corvette enthusiast. You can find him drag racing his Chevy Corvette at Lebanon Valley in New York or exploring the outdoors with his family and friends on ATVs. Ed O’Grady’s story is one of service, passion, and a commitment to building connections. He’s a true asset to Central Chevrolet and a testament to the American spirit.
Just recently Ed was sent to 2024 Corvette Academy in Bowling Green, KY. He had a visit to the National Corvette Museum, to learn about the rich History of the Chevrolet Corvette, and also the NCM Motorsports speedway to learn about the ZO6 and E-Ray.
Meet “Blackjack”
Meet the Unlikely Hero: How the “Blackjack” Corvette Led to a Mid-Engine Revolution
The iconic Chevrolet Corvette has always been a symbol of American performance. But the transition to a mid-engine layout for the C8 generation was a major gamble. Behind the scenes, a strange-looking test mule named “Blackjack” played a critical role in making this dream a reality.
Blackjack wasn’t your typical sleek prototype. Imagine Frankenstein’s monster of the car world. Its front half belonged to a Holden Ute, an Australian pickup truck, while the cabin came straight from a C7 Corvette.
The rear was another Ute hand-me-down, topped with a massive, function-defying wing. This bizarre combination might have raised eyebrows, but beneath the mismatched body panels lurked the heart of the C8 Corvette. Engineers at GM’s secret “Lair” facility used Blackjack to test the fundamentals of the mid-engine design. The aluminum structure and multi-link rear suspension, crucial for the C8’s handling prowess, were honed through countless miles on Blackjack.
The engineers’ creativity extended beyond the car itself. To keep Blackjack under wraps, they deployed spotters to ward off prying eyes and spy helicopters. This cloak-and-dagger operation highlights the importance of this unassuming test mule.
Blackjack’s legacy goes beyond secrecy. It proved the mid-engine concept could work wonders for the Corvette’s performance. The success of Blackjack paved the way for a dozen more prototypes, eventually leading to the C8 we know and love today.
So, next time you admire the sleek lines of the C8 Corvette, remember the unlikely hero that came before it. The “Blackjack” may not have been a thing of beauty, but it played a vital role in making Corvette history.
Front end is Holden Ute, an Australian pickup truck.
Do you recognize these wheels and exhaust? Doesn’t it look familiar? The underneath is a C8. This wing did not produce downforce, it did however create lift to the rear end during testing to keep the car stable with this wild body on top.
- The Blackjack played a key role in testing the C8’s new aluminum structure and rear suspension.
- Engineers went to great lengths to keep Blackjack a secret, even deploying spotters to watch for spy helicopters.
More engineering that went into the C8 Corvette how it was imagined.
More engineering that went into the ZO6 C8 Corvette how it was imagined. Full scale Clay Model, also wheels imagined.

From Disaster to Destiny: The National Corvette Museum Sinkhole and the Millionth Corvette’s Return
*Bottom left of picture is the 1,000,000 Corvette Produced*
In February 2014, the National Corvette Museum in Bowling Green, Kentucky made headlines for an unexpected reason. A massive sinkhole opened up beneath the Skydome, a large exhibit hall, swallowing eight prized Corvettes whole. Thankfully, no one was injured, but the incident left the Corvette community and car enthusiasts worldwide in shock.
One of the fallen Corvettes held a special significance: the one-millionth Corvette ever produced. Built in 1992, this white 1992 convertible marked a historic moment for Chevrolet. Seeing this American icon precariously lodged 30 feet below the surface was a major blow.
However, this wasn’t the end of the story. The National Corvette Museum, with an outpouring of support from General Motors and the public, embarked on a daring rescue and restoration mission. Engineers meticulously removed the Corvettes from the sinkhole, with the millionth Corvette receiving particular attention.
The restoration process was no easy feat. The car had sustained significant damage, with the chassis bent and the engine compartment filled with debris. But a dedicated team of experts, leveraging their knowledge and expertise, painstakingly brought the millionth Corvette back to its former glory.
The restored millionth Corvette, along with the other rescued Corvettes, are now a permanent exhibit at the museum called the “Corvette Cave-In.” This exhibit not only showcases the power of nature but also celebrates the resilience and dedication of the Corvette community. Visitors can see the damage firsthand and witness the remarkable restoration process, a testament to American ingenuity.
The National Corvette Museum sinkhole incident, while unfortunate, has become an enduring part of Corvette lore. It serves as a reminder of the car’s cultural significance and the unwavering passion it inspires. The millionth Corvette’s dramatic fall and triumphant return perfectly embody the spirit of the Corvette: a powerful machine that can overcome any challenge.

It’s not every day the sky puts on a show like the one we witnessed this afternoon! Today, Springfield, Massachusetts, experienced a partial solar eclipse, where the moon partially obscured the sun. Here at Central Chevrolet, we celebrated this rare celestial event with pizza and protective glasses – we hope you were able to enjoy it safely!
This particular eclipse was unique for a few reasons. Firstly, it wasn’t a total eclipse, meaning the moon didn’t completely block out the sun. Here in Springfield, we saw a significant portion of the sun covered, creating a spectacular sight – but not complete darkness.
Secondly, this eclipse is part of a series known as the “Great American Eclipses.” These four eclipses, spaced out over several years, offer North Americans a front-row seat to this awe-inspiring phenomenon. Today’s event was the second in the series, with the peak of the eclipse happening around 3:27 PM.
While the eclipse may have dimmed the sun for a while, there’s no need for your car to fade into the background! At Central Chevrolet, we offer a variety of ways to make your ride truly shine.
Our Central “Blackout” and “Midnight” packages are the perfect way to add some serious contrast and head-turning style to your vehicle. These packages include a selection of blacked-out accessories and emblems, creating a sleek and sophisticated look.
Imagine cruising down the streets of Springfield in a brand new Chevrolet Silverado, its powerful 6.2L engine matched only by its stunning blacked-out features. The Central “Blackout” package would perfectly complement the Silverado’s already impressive silver exterior, making it a true standout on the road.
Just like the eclipse captured our attention today, your Chevrolet deserves to turn heads. Visit Central Chevrolet today and let our team help you customize your vehicle with a Central “Blackout” package. We have a wide selection of options to fit your style and budget, ensuring your car is as unique as this unforgettable eclipse.
P.S. Mark your calendars! The next time a partial solar eclipse will be visible from North America won’t be until August 23rd, 2044. That’s a long wait, so don’t miss out on accessorizing your car and making it shine in the meantime!
Unleash the E-Ray!
Hi everyone! My name is Ed O’Grady, Sales Manager here at Central Chevrolet. I have been a Certified Corvette Specialist here at Central Chevrolet since 1998. Corvettes are more than just cars to me – they’re a passion. I’ve been fortunate enough to attend the C6, C7, and two C8 Corvette Academies and the last one was in Bowling Green, KY, and I’m constantly learning more about these legendary vehicles. In fact, I’m currently cruising in a stunning 2024 Corvette 3LT Z51 Magnetic Ride in Rapid Blue!
Now, let’s talk about the revolutionary 2024 Chevrolet Corvette E-Ray…
Unleash the E-Ray: The Electrified Evolution of Corvette
The iconic Corvette has always been synonymous with roaring engines and blistering speed. But the 2024 Corvette E-Ray throws a thrilling curveball – electrification, while staying true to its gasoline-powered heart.
Forget the misconception – the E-Ray is not a fully electric vehicle. It’s an innovative sports car, packing the power of a 6.2L V8 engine in the rear and an electric motor up front. This set up makes it the FIRST ever All Wheel Drive! Here’s what makes this Corvette a game-changer:
- Dual Power, Double the Thrill: The electric motor isn’t connected to the engine, it provides an independent surge of power. This translates to mind-blowing acceleration – the E-Ray rockets from 0 to 60 in a mere 2.5 seconds, making it the quickest Corvette ever built.
- Self-Charging Powerhouse: No need to fumble with cords! The E-Ray’s 1.9 kWh battery cleverly regenerates power itself, keeping you charged and ready to unleash electric excitement.
- All-Wheel Drive Revolution: Experience groundbreaking control with the first-ever all-wheel-drive Corvette. The E-Ray tackles corners with unmatched precision, giving you the confidence to push the limits.
The E-Ray isn’t just about raw power; it’s a technological marvel that seamlessly blends classic Corvette spirit with the future of electric performance. This is a car that redefines expectations and sets a new standard for exhilaration.
Want to learn more? Contact us here at Central Chevrolet. We can help you research the E-Ray’s handling, interior features, and explore the different trim options available. Buckle up, the future of Corvette is here – and it’s electric (well, kind of)!
The Electric Revolution Arrives at Central Chevrolet: Introducing the 2024 Chevrolet Blazer EV!
Here at Central Chevrolet, we’re buzzing with excitement to announce the arrival of our very first Chevrolet Blazer EV! This isn’t just any new addition to our showroom floor; it’s a glimpse into the electrified future of driving.
For decades, Chevrolet has been a cornerstone of American automotive innovation. From the iconic muscle cars of the 60s to the dependable family vehicles of today, Chevy has always strived to push boundaries. Now, with the Blazer EV, they’re entering a new era – the era of ultium electric mobility.
The Blazer EV isn’t just an electric version of a familiar gasoline model. It’s a ground-up redesign, boasting a sleek, sporty exterior and a surprisingly spacious, tech-laden interior. But the true star of the show is what lies beneath the hood, or should we say, where the hood would be on a traditional car.
Unveiling a Powerhouse
The Blazer EV boasts an impressive electric powertrain with an estimated driving range of up to 324 miles on a single charge. That’s enough to conquer commutes, weekend getaways, and even road trips without the need for constant gas station stops. But the Blazer EV isn’t just about efficiency; it’s about exhilarating performance too. With instant torque delivery, you’ll experience a level of responsiveness that traditional gasoline engines simply can’t match. Whether you’re navigating city streets or merging onto the highway, the Blazer EV provides a smooth, powerful driving experience.
Tech-Savvy Features for the Modern Driver The future is electric, and it’s also connected. The Blazer EV boasts a suite of cutting-edge technology features designed to enhance your driving experience. A spacious and intuitive cabin puts all the information you need at your fingertips. Imagine a crisp driver display showcasing vital stats and a user-friendly infotainment system keeping you entertained and informed on the go.
Regenerative braking helps convert kinetic energy back into battery power, extending your range and giving you more control on the road. Additionally, innovative features like Regen on Demand and One Pedal Driving allow you to tailor the driving experience to your preferences, maximizing efficiency or prioritizing a more traditional two-pedal setup.
A Legacy of Innovation Continues General Motors, Chevrolet’s parent company, has a long and storied history with electric vehicles. They were one of the first automakers to introduce a mass-produced EV, the EV1, back in the 1990s. While the EV1 program ultimately ended, it planted the seeds for the future. Now, with advancements in battery technology and a growing focus on sustainability, GM is back in a big way with a commitment to electric mobility. The Blazer EV, recognized as the MotorTrend SUV of the Year, is a testament to that commitment, offering a compelling electric option for today’s drivers.
Central Chevrolet: Your Home for Electric Vehicles At Central Chevrolet, we understand the excitement surrounding electric vehicles. We’re thrilled to be a part of the electric revolution and to offer the Blazer EV to our customers in the greater Hartford and Springfield area.

Holyoke’s St. Patrick’s Day: A Celebration of Heritage and Community (with a Chevy Twist!)
Western Massachusetts gets cloaked in a vibrant shade of green every March, and for good reason! Holyoke’s St. Patrick’s Day festivities are a legendary blend of tradition, revelry, and a deep connection to Irish heritage. Here at Central Chevrolet, we’re proud to be part of this incredible community celebration.
This year marks the 71st anniversary of the Holyoke St. Patrick’s Parade, making it not just the biggest St. Patrick’s Day celebration in New England, but a cherished homecoming for generations of Irish-Americans. Past participants include President John F. Kennedy himself, highlighting the national significance of this local treasure.
The festivities kick off with the 47th Annual St. Patrick’s Day Road Race. This isn’t just a race for serious runners – it’s a community event. You’ll see families participating in the fun run, walkers enjoying the lively atmosphere, and cheers erupting for every finisher.
But the real magic unfolds on St. Patrick’s Day itself. Imagine over 400,000 spectators lining the streets, a sea of green as far as the eye can see! The parade is a kaleidoscope of vibrant colors, featuring marching bands, cultural floats, energetic dance troupes, and of course, plenty of firetrucks (a nod to Holyoke’s rich history as a center for firefighting innovation).
What makes this parade truly special is the sheer number of local participants. Community groups, schools, sports teams, and even local businesses all come together to celebrate their heritage and showcase their spirit. It’s a heartwarming display of community pride, and a testament to the enduring legacy of Irish immigrants who helped build this great city.
Here at Central Chevrolet, we understand the importance of community. We’re not just a place to buy a car, we’re your neighbors. We share in the joys and traditions that make Holyoke special, and we’re committed to supporting local events like the St. Patrick’s Day festivities.
Speaking of standing out from the crowd, have you seen the new Chevy Trailblazer and Chevy Trax in Cactus Green? They’re the perfect vehicles to navigate the parade crowds (with their spacious interiors) and turn heads with their sleek, stylish design – just like the floats in the parade itself! Plus, with their cutting-edge technology and fuel efficiency, you can explore all the hidden gems of Western Massachusetts in style and comfort.
So, whether you’re cheering on the runners in the road race or soaking up the festive atmosphere in the parade, we invite you to join us in celebrating Holyoke’s St. Patrick’s Day. It’s a celebration of heritage, community spirit, and the enduring legacy of the Irish spirit. And who knows, maybe you’ll even find your own lucky charm at the parade – perhaps a test drive in a brand new Chevy?
We wish you a happy St. Patrick’s Day from your friends at Central Chevrolet!
This International Women’s Day, we at Central Chevrolet are especially proud to celebrate the remarkable women who have driven innovation in the automotive industry, and even more proud of the incredible women who are leading the charge right here at our dealership.
While women represent less than 25% of dealership employees nationwide, and a mere 18% of managers, at Central Chevrolet, we’re shattering those statistics. Over 40% of our managers across variable and fixed operations are women – and they are truly exceptional at what they do.
From the very beginning, women have been shaping the way we drive. Mary Anderson, frustrated by constantly cleaning snow and rain off her windshield, invented the windshield wiper in 1903. Margaret A. Wilcox, a pioneering mechanical engineer, secured a patent for a car heater in 1893, making winter commutes a little more comfortable.
Bertha Benz, wife of Karl Benz, isn’t just considered a car enthusiast – she’s credited with the invention of brake pads (inspired by a discussion with a blacksmith) and even took the world’s first long-distance road trip in her husband’s car, proving its potential to a skeptical public.
These are just a few examples of the countless women who have made significant contributions to the automotive world. Yet, the industry they helped build often overlooks them.
At Central Chevrolet, we believe that’s unacceptable. We’re proud to have strong, intelligent women on our team, and we’re actively working to create a welcoming environment that fosters future generations of female automotive leaders.
Leading the Charge at Central Chevrolet
We wouldn’t be the award-winning dealership we are today without the dedication and expertise of our incredible female leaders. Let’s give a round of applause to:
- Carla Butterfield, Service Manager (7 years) – Carla’s leadership keeps our service department running smoothly, ensuring our customers receive exceptional care.
- Kathy Jones, F&I Director (35 years) – Kathy’s knowledge and experience are invaluable in the finance and insurance department, guiding customers through the buying process with expertise and care.
- Melissa Losito, F&I Manager (14 Years) – Melissa’s customer focus and financial acumen make the financing process efficient and stress-free.
- Jessika Gmachowski, BDC Manager (2 Years) – Jessika’s drive and enthusiasm are instrumental in connecting customers with the perfect vehicle for their needs.
These are just a few of the amazing women who play crucial roles across Central Chevrolet to serve our customers. We want to thank all of our exceptional women for their hard work and dedication.
This International Women’s Day, let’s celebrate the remarkable women who have paved the way, and empower the next generation to take the wheel. Visit us at Central Chevrolet and see how our team of passionate professionals, both women and men, can help you find the perfect car for your needs.
The Central Story
A Legacy Built on Family, Service, and You
Welcome to the first entry on the Central Dealership blog! We’re excited to share our story, our values, and our ongoing commitment to serving the community.
Central Chevrolet is more than just a car dealership; it’s a family legacy that spans three generations. It all began with my grandfather, who moved from Buffalo, New York, to take the helm as General Manager in the early 1960’s. His dedication and passion for the industry led him to eventually purchase of the dealership, laying the foundation for what it is today.
My father followed in his footsteps, starting his journey at Central over 42 years ago. All these years later, Todd continues to lead the company with the same dedication and enthusiasm as his father. In August of this year, I had the privilege of joining the team, carrying the torch and upholding the values that have made Central Chevrolet a pillar of the community.
Family Values, Exceptional Service
At Central, we believe in fostering a close-knit family environment that extends not only to our customers but also to our employees. We are incredibly proud of our team, with over 16 individuals boasting 25+ years of service and 35 employees exceeding 15+ years with the company. In a small business of roughly 85 employees, this loyalty and dedication speak volumes about the culture we’ve cultivated.
Our commitment to our employees is mirrored in our commitment to our customers. As Floyd, our founder, once declared on one of his original billboards, “Service is at the heart of our business.” This mantra guides our every interaction, from the moment you walk through our doors to the long-term care we provide for your vehicle.
Join the Central Family
We invite you to experience the Central difference. Whether you’re searching for your next car, require expert service, or simply want to connect with a team that prioritizes both its employees and its customers, we’re here for you. We’d be honored to have the opportunity to earn your business and become part of our extended family.
Stay tuned for future blog posts as we delve deeper into various topics related to the automotive industry, share customer testimonials, and offer valuable insights to help you make informed decisions about your car buying and car care journey.
