‘American Dreaming’ exhibit looks back at seven generations of Corvette


PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE ‘VETTES WILL BE SHOWN OFF AHEAD OF THE DETROIT AUTO SHOW


Ahead of the Detroit auto show -- and the unlikely but still possible reveal of the new Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 -- Detroit’s Scarab Club is hosting “American Dreaming, Corvette 7 Generations and Beyond.” Obviously, the event will celebrate every generation of Corvette we've seen since the car first launched in 1953. The event will also show off some surviving Corvette concept art, design students' visions of what a mid-engine Corvette could look like and vintage Corvette advertising art.
The exhibit is running from Jan. 4 to Feb. 18, but a reception will be held on Friday, Jan. 6 at 5 p.m. The reception will feature former General Motors designer Bill Porter ceremoniously signing one of the Scarab Club’s rafter beams.

If you happen to be in town for the Detroit auto show and you want to check out more than just the Cobo Center, this could be a good way to pass the time, even if you miss the reception. Friday's event, and the rest of the Scarab Club’s gallery, is free to the public. For more information about the gallery, check out the website here.
