Opening this October, Pop Culture and Corvette: An American Love Affair explores the deep connection between America’s Sports Car and entertainment. From Elvis Presley driving a 1959 Stingray Racer in Clambake to the Corvette-inspired Autobots in the Transformers franchise, this exhibit celebrates the Corvette’s role in film, TV, music, and video games. Visitors will be immersed in the sights and sounds of iconic Corvettes that have graced the big and small screens, including a bright pink Corvette inspired by Barbie, a blue C3 featured in Hawaii Five-0, and the Corvette concept featured in Gran Turismo 6.
In addition to Hollywood fame, the exhibit highlights Corvettes tied to American icons, such as astronaut Jim Lovell’s Corvette and Reggie Jackson’s 1978 Indy 500 pace car replica. With a blend of cars, artifacts, and memorabilia, the exhibit showcases how Corvette has been a cultural symbol for more than 70 years. Visit us this fall to experience the stories behind these legendary Corvettes.
