The National Corvette Museum in Bowling Green, Kentucky, has opened a Limited Engagement gallery exhibit featuring artifacts related to Corvette history that are not actual cars.
The exhibit includes vintage Corvette pedal cars, including a 1956 pedal car first displayed at a Pittsburgh dealership, and other memorabilia that illustrate dealership and everyday history.
It also displays a Hinchman-sewn racing suit belonging to pioneer racer Dick Guldstrand, who in 1967 with Bob Bondurant campaigned an L88 Sting Ray at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, setting a GT-class track record and exceeding 170 mph on the Mulsanne straight.
The display also includes the desk of former GM CEO Ed Cole, who as Chevrolet's chief engineer in the 1950s brought the small-block V-8 to Chevrolet and later backed engineers Zora Arkus-Duntov and Bill Mitchell, linking Corvette engineering history to the museum's artifacts.
