Louis to LeMans: The History of Chevrolet Racing
JUNE 11, 2018 – JANUARY 4, 2019
The Museum’s Exhibit Hall has once again been transformed to feature a special themed display. For a period of about seven months, that theme focuses on Chevrolet racing history. The story of Chevrolet racing is told from the early days of Louis Chevrolet as a racing driver for Buick, through the AMA ban on racing, to Chevrolet Racing’s involvement in NASCAR, and the Le Mans winning Corvettes. Significant stories are told through the display of various cars and artifacts, from engines including one from a C5-R, and a fuel injection cutaway, to race suits and more. The exhibit will run until January 4, 2019.
