Car Museum helps Chevy mark 100th anniversary
NORWICH – While countless auto manufacturers have come and gone in the past century, Chevrolet has reason to celebrate as today marks the 100th anniversary of the company. Throughout November, the Northeast Classic Car Museum is recognizing Chevy as a distinguished leader in the auto market.
The museum will pay tribute to the bow tie brand throughout the month, offering a $2 discount to anyone who can show their Chevy title or registration, dangle a Chevy keychain or proudly wear Chevy apparel showing off the unmistakable logo that has had such a profound impact in the business world.
If the discount isn’t enough to excite car enthusiasts, the museum also plans to unveil various fun, family-oriented activities throughout the month in celebration of the milestone. The museum wants to see people who admire and appreciate the company’s feats in engineering and productivity, museum officials said.
Marc Michaels, director of the car museum, said “this is a great opportunity to recognize one of the greatest American automobiles.” He encourages people to join in learning about the troubles and triumphs the company has overcome in the past 100 years.
“A lot of companies are dead,” he explained, stressing the significance of Chevrolet’s survival long after some of its competing predecessors.
Currently, the museum maintains more than 160 classic cars in its collection, ranging from 1901 to the mid 1970s. Of those, there are 11 Chevys, including a ‘32 Confederate, ‘59 Impala and 2 ‘56 Bel Airs – referred to by the museum as “the twins.” Museum officials said one of the displayed Chevys was originally manufactured in Terrytown, New York; it is the only Chevy at the museum assembled in the state of New York.
The Northeast Classic Car Museum attracts nearly 10,000 visitors annually. With a variety of exhibits with different themes, the museum has some of the most unique automobiles in the country. Presently, they are displaying the “Wild Things and Wild Rides” exhibit, which features cars named for animals, birds and reptiles along with vintage and custom motorcycles. Exhibits also include the “Postwar Era,” “Cars Made in New York State” and “Vintage Airplane Engines,” along with several others.
Spectators are welcome to celebrate Chevrolet’s anniversary at the Classic Car Museum, located at 24 Rexford St. Hours are from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., seven days a week and admission is $9 for adults, $4 for students ages 6-18 and free admission for members and children under the age of six.
