Say "Corvette" and the image of the open road, fast-driving, and distinctive styling is brought to mind. Songs, movies, and television shows have featured the characteristic chassis and conveyed its aura. Visitors to Bowling Green, Kentucky, have the opportunity to follow the development, advancements, and features of this classic American car.
History of the Corvette
In 1953, the Chevrolet division of General Motors began a bold experiment. Harley Earl, a designer, imagined a car resembling the European sports car. With several other engineers and staff, Chevy produced the first 300 cars. Named the “Corvette” for the fast ships of the French navy, the first models were all white with red interior convertibles. The original crossed flag Corvette symbol had to be changed at the last minute as it included an American flag, which was not permitted on a commercial product. Over the years, the symbol has seen design changes but it always includes some form of the checkered flag and the Chevrolet “bow tie” emblem.
From that humble beginning in Flint, Michigan, where they were produced for $3,498.00, the Corvette has come to symbolize the thrill of driving on the open road and an entire cult following has emerged.
