BIG BLOCKS, an exhibition on display from August 2, 2022, through December 4, 2022, in Gallery A, will showcase American muscle cars with “big-block” engines housed under the hood. The American muscle car era lasted over a decade of popular flexing with serious horsepower. Popular American car manufacturers were not shy about increased engine size and power, from Chevrolet’s Chevelle to the Buick GSX, and Ford Shelby GT500, all ranging from the late 1960s to the early 1970s.
