SARATOGA SPRINGS — The Saratoga Automobile Museum is thrilled to present their newest exhibition, Speed – Style – Legacy: The Corvette Story, starting on May 5. 

The new exhibit takes visitors on a journey through the history of one of the world’s most legendary sports cars, the Chevrolet Corvette. From 1953, when the first Vette rolled off the assembly line, to its current status as a high-performance icon, the exhibition offers an immersive look at the Corvette’s incredible evolution and its unparalleled motorsport legacy.

Spanning over eight decades of production, the exhibit will showcase a carefully curated selection of Corvettes, as well as highlight Corvette’s impressive racing heritage, showcasing famous race cars that have become legends in their own right. 

Speed – Style – Legacy: The Corvette Story will feature six vehicles on loan from the famed GM Heritage Collection. The cars, which represent some of the most iconic models in Corvette history, will provide a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for visitors to see and experience some of the rarest and most historically significant Corvettes ever built. 

The exhibition is open to the public starting Monday, May 5 and will run through October 2025.
