EXPERIENCE
The Corvette Chevy Expo is an annual auto show held in Galveston, Texas, U.S., at the Galveston Island Convention Center. The event is held annually in March and is among the largest indoor All Chevy Concours Shows in Texas. The next Expo is March 13 and 13, 2021.
Have you ever wondered just what is a Concours?
The term dates back to the 17th-century, where the wealthy would parade their horse-drawn carriages in Paris during the summer weekends and holidays. The French term Concours d’Elegance origin meant a “competition of elegance” and refers to an event where impressive vehicles are displayed and judged.
Today, you don’t have to be wealthy to show your pride and joy, but it does need to be very distinct.
Many of the “show cars” you will see at the Corvette Chevy Expo are sometimes referred to as “trailer queens.” The majority of them are not driven regularly but only used for special displays and competition.
Expo’s Awards and Competition
You will see about 135 of these museum-quality cars as they compete for Best of Show Corvette, Best of Show Chevrolet, Best of Show Camaro, Best of Show Chevy Truck, and Best of Show Display. There is also a Class competition with 1st, 2nd and 3rds.
Another favorite award is the People’s Choice Award. The spectators choose this award. Each spectator is given a ballot to vote for which car is their favorite.
The Celebrity Choice Award is the newest award at the Corvette Chevy Expo. Celebrity Choice Award winners are selected by VIPs that are local or important in the hobby. These cars can be selected for any number of reasons, from “I like the color,” “I had on like that,” “It spoke to me,” “I had my first date in a car like that,” any reason whatsoever.
Another prestigious award is the President’s Award. The President’s Award is presented to Chevrolet’s that receive 98 to 100 points out of the 100 possible total.
Also offered at the Corvette Chevy Expo is the Vette Vues Magazine Tri-Power Award. This award is only available to Corvettes that have achieved the Bloomington Gold status and the NCRS Top Flight.
