America Loves Corvette Exhibition

February 14 through March 1 | Opening Valentine’s Day

No car in history has been loved quite like this one.

Since 1953, Corvette has been the car America couldn’t stop thinking about. It showed up at Motorama wrapped in fiberglass and full of promises, and never left. It got faster. It got louder. It won races it had no business entering. And somewhere along the way, it stopped being just a car and became something closer to a national obsession.

America Loves Corvette traces that obsession across seven decades and eight generations, from the hand-laid fiberglass of the C1 to the flat-plane-crank fury of the C8 ZR1. This is the story of a car that survived its own cancellation rumors, eliminated every excuse not to compete with Europe, and rewrote the rules of what an American sports car could be.

Twenty-five cars. One unbroken line of ambition.
