Corvette Museum

There is a car from the USA called the Corvette. Perhaps you've heard of it? They have a museum near the factory in Bowling Green. We visited the factory and it looked like this. 

The museum has cars and everything Corvette related from Barbie dolls to guitars. 
1954 Les Paul Corvette guitar? You've got my attention!

Curvy body? Check!
Fiberglass body? Check!

Cool grille and wire mesh covered headlights? Check and check!

In the lobby these cars are waiting for their new owners to pick them. Yeah, you order a Corvette, they build it in Kentucky, and you can pick it up at the museum if you want!

I'll guess Albert and Sara picked up their new car later that afternoon!

Once upon a time, a sinkhole swallowed up some of the Corvettes in the museum. Some they fixed, but these two appear like they did at the bottom of the sinkhole. 

As car designers make clay models, they start adding actual parts to check how it's going to all work out, so here's a part clay and part parts model!

This concept car was partially influenced by the Alien movies. Spooky. 

Maybe everyone's favorite Corvette, the one year only 1963 split window. 

This was a cool display of an old gas station with some classic Corvettes. 

Some owner sealed his Corvette up in the basement of his store, and it was opened many years later, looking like this. I think I'd rather drive it. 

If you know Corvettes, you should know Zora Arkus-Duntov. If you have a ZO6 model Corvette, the Z comes from his first name, a Zora Option #6 with a larger motor. 

Spotted this hand dryer in the men's room. 

1953 (first year) Corvette chassis showing the construction. I'll bet this thing is worth a few dollars. 

Corvette from the Disneyland Autopia ride!

This was the coolest thing, a 1973 Concept Corvette, with a mid-engine rotary engine! Whoa!
