The July/August 2025 issue of Car & Driver magazine is a celebration of seven decades of automotive excellence, and America’s Sports Car is front and center. To mark the magazine’s 70th anniversary, Car & Driver selected the all-new 2025 Corvette ZR1 to headline its special issue. But the real story goes deeper.
Behind the ZR1 stands a curated lineup of legendary Corvettes from the National Corvette Museum collection. These cars represent milestone moments in Corvette’s evolution and were selected by Car & Driver to help tell the full story of performance, heritage, and innovation.
This national spotlight is a powerful reflection of our mission—to educate worldwide audiences on the legacy of Corvette by collecting, preserving, and celebrating its story. These vehicles aren’t just rare. They’re meaningful. Each one connects past to present, performance to purpose.
We’re proud to share this moment with Corvette fans everywhere, and we owe a sincere thank you to the incredible donors who have trusted these iconic Corvettes to the Museum. Without your generosity, opportunities like this wouldn’t be possible. Your commitment helps fuel the Museum’s ability to tell Corvette stories on the world’s stage.
A special thank you goes out to our Marketing, Collections, and Vehicle Preservation teams for the precision, care, and collaboration that made this feature a reality.
Pick up your copy of the July/August 2025 Car & Driver and plan your visit to Bowling Green to experience the Corvettes that brought this cover to life. When history and horsepower meet, it happens here—at the National Corvette Museum.
