Sacramento, CA — The California Automobile Museum will host a special display of Vettes for Vets 2011 “America’s Sports Car,” the Corvette, leading up to the annual “Vettes for Vets” all-Corvette car show on Saturday, November 5th from 10:00am to 3:00pm.
At the Museum, there will be unique examples of Corvettes from October 29 through December 3. The public is invited to come to the Museum during normal business hours and see the display, which will include six generations of Corvettes and is sure to thrill guests of all ages!
On November 5, the Corvettes on display at the Museum will be joined by many other Corvettes at the all-Corvette car show honoring all veterans. This car show will benefit veteran’s groups as well as the California Automobile Museum. Military (retired and active duty) and spectators are encouraged to come and enjoy the day both at the car show and at the Museum where, with their military identification card, they will receive free admission for the day (and on Veteran’s Day, November 11).
The car show will be located just south of the Museum at 2400 Front Street beginning at 10:00 a.m., where spectators can enjoy (for free admission) the sights and sounds of vendors, food, veteran displays, raffle prizes, and trophies for the cars.
Corvette owners can join hundreds of their sister Corvettes for the all-Corvette car show by either pre-registering ($10) at www.CalAutoMuseum.org or at 9:00 a.m. at the gate on November 5 for $15. Registration for the car show includes two free Museum admission passes. This event is located on a paved and partially covered lot and will be held rain or shine. The “Vettes for Vets” car show is sponsored by Performance Chevrolet and Corvette Care.
The Museum is a non-profit organization whose mission is to preserve, exhibit, and teach, the story of the automobile and its influence on our lives. The Museum’s collection of more than 150 cars gives visitors the chance to witness first-hand the evolution of the automobile from its invention to today’s alternative-fueled experiments that will someday be tomorrow’s cars.
The Museum is open daily from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., taking the last admission at 5:00 p.m. and stays open until 9:00 p.m. every third Thursday of the month.
