1978 Chevrolet Corvette Indy Pace Car Coupe
Personal story and photograph submitted by owner Martha Fligor - courtesy of the National Corvette Museum website - for participation in the National Corvette Museum 2008 Historic Motorama II.
This wasn't the red Corvette convertible we left home to buy, but this '78 was purchased the minute we saw it! It's style, history and low mileage (15,000 in 1999) sold us! Our car received NCRS Top Flight award in 2005 and Bloomington Gold's "Survivor" certification in 2007. It also represented the year 1978 in the National Corvette Museum's huge 50th anniversary celebration in Nashville.
And we have three other Corvette pace cars - so we are proud to be Corvette and Indy fans.
When GM celebrates the beginning of its next 100 years on September 16, 2008, 55 Corvettes will be on display outside its World Headquarters at Detroit’s Renaissance Center. The Corvettes are in fact the Historic Motorama II, a caravan from the National Corvette Museum (NCM) which is comprised of one example from each of the 55 years of Corvette production. The caravan will depart from the National Corvette Museum on September 10th with stops along the way. People attending the GMnext Day activities on September 16th will be able to view the Corvettes before and after the official program.
Look at the next Historic Motorama II Corvette participant, representing a cross-section of Corvette enthusiasts from across the country.
