Corvette's newest addition

Master Plan to be presented at Labor Day Event

We have selected the architectural firm of Sherman-Carter-Barnhart to develop a master plan for our estimated 50,000 square-foot expansion that includes a library and archives, permanent Corvette Hall of Fame, a 75-seat Corvette Café, 400-seat Conference Center that can be divided into four classrooms and 5,000 square-foot education display/exhibit area.

In early July, the architectural firm based out of Lexington, Kentucky will provide three conceptual presentations for the proposed expansion which also will include changes to the Museum Delivery prep and presentation area, additional parking, Corvette Store expansion, additional storage and other much needed developments. The master plan will be unveiled at the annual membership meeting on Saturday, September 2nd at 1:30 p.m. as part of the 12th Anniversary Corvette Celebration festivities Labor Day weekend. We hope you can join us for this exciting moment in the Museum’s future!

Interstate Highway System 50th Anniversary Press Conference

Officials from the Governor’s Office and the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet joined national, state and local officials in our Chevrolet Theater yesterday to celebrate the national 50th anniversary of the interstate system.

When Dwight Eisenhower became president, building an interstate highway system which would tie the nation together became a focus of his domestic policy. He signed the bill that started the construction of a National System of Interstate and Defense Highways on June 29, 1956. Museum Director Wendell Strode commented as part of the ceremony that the Museum’s existence and future would not be possible without the interstate system bringing thousands of Corvette enthusiasts to Bowling Green each year. We were thrilled to host and be a major part of this state event.

Corvette Racing Wins 24 Hours of Le Mans

Corvette and Aston Martin went toe-to-toe in the 24 Hours of Le Mans, trading blows through a grueling day and night of racing. When the battle finally ended, Corvette Racing had won the GT1 class in the world's greatest sports car race for the fifth time in six years.

The victorious No. 64 Compuware Corvette C6.R driven by Oliver Gavin, Olivier Beretta and Jan Magnussen finished fourth overall and scored Corvette Racing's 12th podium finish since the team first came to Le Mans in 2000. It was the trio's third consecutive class victory at Le Mans and their fourth straight endurance racing win, a streak that includes last year's 24 Hours of Le Mans, Petit Le Mans and the 12 Hours of Sebring. Corvette Racing extended its perfect finishing record in the 24 Hours of Le Mans to seven consecutive years and Corvette became the winningest manufacturer in recent GT history at Le Mans. "What those guys did was unbelievable," stated Gary Pratt of Pratt & Miller. "Teamwork is what it's all about. Whichever car wins, the whole team wins."
