One Acre Club Spotlight: Andy Guinn

Board Member and Lifetime Member Andy Guinn is a southern gentleman who loves driving anything American. He’s had 12 Corvettes through the years, and when the weather is right, you might even see him on his Harley-Davidson. When it comes to building a track near the Museum, he looks at that as further evidence of Corvette’s patriotic heritage.

“It’s all about legacy,” says Andy. “Corvette is a symbol of America. Everything about the car speaks to the freedoms we have. It is built here; it is reward to those who work hard; on the open road it REALLY gives you the feeling of freedom, and as far as fuel economy goes, you are free to get 30 miles per gallon or four miles a gallon. The choice is yours. While the track will be used by all makes of cars, it will be another achievement inspired by the Corvette that will bring people to the Museum. I think it will get the attention of the world.”

Andy has joined the One Acre Club by donating $15,000, and, he’s also donated to the Lone Star Corvette Club’s current One Acre Club fund to inspire others to join in the effort to get another one going. “I’d love to see everyone get involved who loves the Corvette.”
