Bloomington Gold’s 50th Show to Feature these three iconic cars in American culture and history:
1963 Corvette Grand Sport “Lightweight”
Great Hall Inductee (2013), One of five original Grand Sports built under the guidance of Zora Arkus-Duntov
Owned by: Revs Institute, Naples FL
“What’s in that damn dinosaur? It went by me like I was stopped.” A.J. Foyt, driving their latest 500 horsepower prototype at Sebring, was not the first Ford racer to be stunned by the sheer acceleration of a Grand Sport.
1960 Corvette Briggs Cunningham Le Mans Racer
Owned by: Irwin Kroiz, Ambler PA
1960 was the first time a Corvette won its class at the famous Le Mans 24-hour race. The #3 1960 Corvette Briggs Cunningham Le Mans Racer held this title for 40 years! The movie, The Quest, showing Friday, June 10 at the Normal movie theater is about this Corvette.
1957 Corvette Convertible Aztec Copper
Former owner: Chip Miller
Owned by: The Mecum Family, Walworth WI
This Aztec Copper 1957 Corvette is one of the best-documented first-generation examples known to exist. Its provenance is supported by extensive original documentation, including nearly every piece of dealership paperwork and full ownership documentation.
