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.
