CURRENT EXHIBITIONS

Following a positive debut at General Motors’ 1953 Motorama show in New York City, the Chevrolet Corvette rushed into production. Widely recognized as “America’s Sports Car,” this fiberglass-bodied, two-door, two-seater filled the void of a domestically built roadster. Boasting eight generations of manufactured success, the Corvette has become an American icon. In this exhibition we are focusing on the early years, showcasing a variety of special examples from the first three generations: C1 (1953-1962), C2 (1963-1967), and C3 (1968-1982).

The human need for music is undeniably strong. People have had the desire to cruise to music since the early 1900s, with the introduction of telegraphs, record players, tape decks, CD players, and radios. You may even find yourself enjoying a song while picking up speed. There have been many songs featuring specific cars and engines that have made cars cultural icons due to the popularity of the music. This exhibit celebrates select cars from the 1950s and 1960s that are forever linked to the music that topped the charts during that era.
