3) Another Enticing Exhibit From Your National Corvette Museum
From The NCM:
“In 1960, General Motors produced over 10,000 Corvettes, and only 766 of them were Horizon Blue.
This one still has its original 283 cubic inch, 230-horsepower engine, and it’s now part of the National Corvette Museum Collection thanks to a generous donation from Tim Zradicka. Tim purchased the car in 2004 and completed a frame-off restoration in 2011. Along the way, he discovered a 1973 gas station receipt tucked inside a defroster duct that helped him trace the Corvette’s story.
This Horizon Blue beauty is now on display in Bowling Green, KY. Come see the legacy for yourself: corvettemuseum.org/visit”
