“From Louis to Le Mans” Now At the NCM!

The National Corvette Museum Celebrates the Legacy of Chevrolet Racing Over the Past 100+ Years

On Sunday, July 15, 2018, I made one my many regular pilgrimages to the National Corvette Museum in Bowling Green, Kentucky.  As I have been a member of the NCM for many years and a die-hard Corvette fanatic my entire life, I hardly need a reason to go visit the NCM.  For this trip however, I actually had a very good reason for going.  I wanted to get the inside scoop on the Museum’s latest exhibit – “Chevrolet Racing: From Louis to Le Mans.”

This bust of Louis Chevrolet is a plaster reproduction of the bronze bust at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway that was created by Adolph Woller.  This recreation was created in 1994 specifically for the National Corvette Museum to honor the memory of Louis Chevrolet. (Image © 2018 – Corvsport.com)

As they’ve done in the past, the museum is once more hosting a special-themed exhibit from June 11, 2018 to January 4, 2019. This exhibit’s theme focuses on Chevrolet’s remarkable racing history and the legacy of its founder (and racing aficionado), Louis Chevrolet.
