Springfield, VT - The Precision Valley Corvette Museum recently added three historic Corvettes to its ongoing exhibition of “America’s Sports Car”. The additions were made possible through the generous support of Mr. and Mrs. Reggie Gauthier of Millbury, MA, Mr. and Mrs. Tom Yoder of Leominster, MA and Mr. John McRae of Strafford, VT, who have kindly lent their priceless cars to the Museum for display over the winter.* These cars, along with the Museum’s permanent collection, result in an educational exhibit that offers guests an in-depth look at the engineering and development of the Corvette through its evolution.
“These cars are a wonderful addition,” states Museum Director Roberto Rodriguez. “The Gauthier’s 2004 Commemorative Corvette Convertible actually toured members of the U.S. Armed Forces on the race track during pre-race ceremonies at the 88th running of the Indianapolis 500.” “Mr. McRae’s 1967 Sting Ray Convertible boasts a ‘big block’ 427 L68 engine and stands in a class all it's own - the ‘Mid-Year’ Vettes are known as America's Most Desirable Sports car”. “The Yoder’s 1960 Convertible is a trip down memory lane being identical to the one driven by Buzz and Todd in the popular television series Route 66 that debuted that year.”

Along with the new additions visitors to the Museum can also see a 1978 Indianapolis Pace Car, a rare Gypsy Red 1955 Corvette, a 405 HP 1993 40th Anniversary ZR1, a 1988 twin-turbo Callaway and a 1970 chassis display in addition to an extensive collection of automotive memorabilia. A 2005 C6 Corvette, to be raffled off in support of Springfield’s Wings & Wheels July 4th Extravaganza, is on order and due to arrive in mid November. With the arrival of the C6, all six generations of Corvette will be on display.

The Precision Valley Corvette Museum is dedicated to educating, enlightening and entertaining the public through the interpretation of America’s Sports Car, the Corvette. Open daily from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.; the Museum is located just behind the Springfield Royal Diner at 363 River Street in Springfield, VT. Admission to the Museum is free

Wish I had known about this museum when we were on vacation in Vermont several years ago. Sounds like a nice place to visit.
