This Week's Issue... <tbody> </tbody> <tbody> </tbody> <tbody> </tbody> Corvette Celebrates 63 Years of Production The Corvette has been produced for seven generations over the past 63 years. Known throughout the world as “America’s Sports Car,” the Corvette embodies the concept of innovation. On June 30, 1953, the first Corvette came off the assembly line. In 2008, the United States House of Representatives passed a resolution that June 30[SUP]th[/SUP] would annually be known as “National Corvette Day.” That’s right, a whole day devoted to America’s sports car. You can read the resolution and some more history of the car here.​ <tbody> </tbody> <tbody> </tbody> Military Discount on Membership <article> </article> Now through July 5 save on new Museum memberships!

Conde believes that the Motorsports Park educational clinics which aid teens and adults in becoming safer drivers are very important. “The track has a mission to make people better drivers,” Conde says. “There is more to the Motorsports Park than just seeing how fast cars can drive, it offers important programs as well.” Additionally, Conde added that the importance of safe driving is not only for civilians but also law enforcement agents. “State Troopers use the facilities to improve their driving skills. The Motorsports Park is so important because the programs taught there can help the officers to be less likely to put their lives and those of civilians in danger.” Last year the Condes supported the Museum by donating their 25th Anniversary and 50th Anniversary Corvettes.
