A NASA Engineer’s 1962 Corvette – We Can’t Get Over This Beauty

Posted on by Posted in 2022, Featured Show Cars .

This isn’t his first rodeo – Danny Reed is no stranger to Chevy owners in Texas! He has shown his 1969 Corvette that was driven by Apollo 12 moonwalker Alan Bean while he trained for his lunar mission, and two 1971 models driven by Apollo 15 Commander Dave Scott and Command Module Pilot Al Worden.

Now we’re excited to announce that an original 1962 Chevrolet Corvette which belonged to NASA engineer Frank Norton will be on display at the 2022 Chevy Expo taking place on March 19 and 20.

We also got information about this particular car from famous author David W. Temple; who provided us with history and pictures of how it came to be such an incredible vehicle.

Corvette Chevy Expo Returns for Its 44th Anniversary on March 19-20, 2022

Punta Gorda, FL – February 12, 2022 — With an impressive 44 years running under its belt, the Corvette Chevy Expo will return to Galveston Island Convention Center March 19th – 20th. The Corvette Chevy Expo is held every year at the GICC and has proven to be one of the South’s best Chevy car shows, bringing in enthusiasts from Texas and surrounding states. Celebrating this milestone anniversary, visitors can expect two days of great car displays along with vendors who specialize in all things related to Chevrolet. Expected attendees include skilled craftsmen who build high-end custom Corvettes or painstakingly restore classic models.

Guests are blown away when they step into the building. World-class Chevy Show Cars sit on display while they enjoy the magnificent view of the Gulf, just waiting for you to come closer. The Corvette Corral lets you purchase or sell your vehicle.

Car enthusiasts have plenty to do at this event; there are Chevrolets galore as well as an entire Swap Meet area where people can buy or sell used parts like wheels, grills, bumpers, etc.

What about all those Commercial Vendors? Don’t forget about them too! And if it’s craftsmen you want- we’ve got over 135 artists selling handmade items and artwork to add to your collection! These talented artists sell all handmade goods such as jewelry, paintings, pottery, etc., all made by themselves.

And outside? A whole host of entertainment awaits! There are two shows: one for Saturdays and one for Sundays – each with its own set of awards.

A DJ and local music performance by The Line Up band provides an entertainment atmosphere for all ages! You will be able to relax while enjoying drinks with an ocean-side view!

There is plenty of available free parking in the adjacent parking garage.
