Imagine purchasing a slick new Corvette. Imagine driving it around town and hitting up your usual spots, feeling the Maine summer breeze and fresh air.
Now imagine after only about five years of owning the car, you no longer want to drive it and would rather just seal it away inside a brick vault. And that brick vault will remain closed for nearly three decades.
Wait. What? Why would you do that?
Well, that s just part of the story that surrounds a Corvette and its owner Richard Sampson of Brunswick, Maine.
Only 3,640 Corvettes were produced in 1954, according to corvsport.com, and Sampson got his very own white one, complete with a red interior, that same year.

Former director of performance car exterior design at General Motors, Tom Peters, is the new Consulting Curator of Exhibits at the National Corvette Museum.
Peters, who worked for GM for over 35 years, helped curate an exhibit for the NCM earlier this year called “Car-toon Creatures, Kustom Kars and Corvettes: The Art and Influence of Ed ‘Big Daddy’ Roth.” This inspired NCM president and CEO Dr. Sean Preston to ask Peters if he would re-emerge from retirement and provide it with more expert advice as the newest addition to its curatorial team, a request to which he happily agreed.

I recently got around to driving the entirely new Corvette Stingray. Yes, the so-called
“C8”, the eighth iteration of America’s two-seat sports car! Actually, it’s more accurate
to say a new Corvette Stingray got around to me.
Before the CV-19 pandemic changed the course of virtually everything in 2020 I
expected to be behind the wheel of the completely re-imagined iconic Corvette in the
spring. That would have been at Road America in Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin at the Spring
Rally produced by the Midwest Automotive Media Association (MAMA).
