June Ambassador Report: A Celebration of the Corvette Legacy

10 Jul 2023 2:54 PM | Kevin Brady

Dear Space City Corvette Club Members,

I hope this message finds you well and enjoying your own unique Corvette experiences this summer. As your Ambassador to the National Corvette Museum, it is my privilege to share some exhilarating updates and reflections from my recent journey to Bowling Green, KY.

On June 30th, we celebrated a milestone in automotive history – the 70th birthday of our beloved Corvette. This momentous occasion was not only an opportunity to honor a landmark in Corvette’s illustrious journey but also a chance to witness the grand opening of a new exhibit at the National Corvette Museum, fittingly titled, "America's 70-Year Love Affair."

Traveling with my cherished 1953 Corvette, I felt a deep sense of pride as I joined enthusiasts from all over the nation in commemorating the rich heritage of this American icon. The new exhibit has been thoughtfully rearranged to unfold the riveting narrative of Corvette through the decades, providing an immersive journey that will captivate both the Corvette novice and veteran.

A particular highlight of the exhibit, and one that I’m confident will be a crowd-pleaser, is the 360-degree video display housed within the Sky Dome. Towering at an impressive 8 feet tall, and assembled at a cost of $800,000, this remarkable installation projects an engaging video that narrates the storied history of the Corvette. The entire circumference of the Sky Dome has been utilized, enveloping visitors in a visually striking, comprehensive chronicle of the Corvette saga.

Perhaps one of the most touching personal moments of this adventure was the honor of my own 1953 Corvette being featured center stage at the event. As the sun rose on the 70th birthday of the Corvette, it was professionally photographed, capturing a moment in time that I will forever treasure.

As your ambassador, I urge all members to consider a pilgrimage to the National Corvette Museum to experience this inspiring tribute to our shared passion. Whether you've visited previously or are contemplating your first trip, the fresh perspective offered by these updated exhibits ensures a truly unforgettable experience for all Corvette enthusiasts.

In conclusion, I’d like to reiterate what a privilege it is to represent our club and the Corvette community. I look forward to sharing more updates and experiences in the future. Until then, safe and joyous travels on the open road in your own piece of Corvette history.

Yours in the spirit of Corvette,

Kevin Brady
