“The Corvette’s status transcends automotive culture. It is instantly recognizable worldwide as an American icon, “emphasizes Petersen Executive Director Buddy Pepp.

A dinner and cocktail hour will start the celebration on Friday, March 1. Included in the evening’s festivities will be a memorabilia auction and a panel discussion with special guests from the Corvette’s illustrious past. The big excitement will come on Saturday, March 2, when the Petersen will fill its 500-car parking structure with Corvettes of all eras for the Corvette Day car show. An exhibit of Corvettes will also be on display inside the museum, highlighting some of the most interesting Corvettes in Chevrolet’s history.

Proceeds from activities will go toward supporting the Petersen Automotive Museum’s educational programming.
