Classic ‘Vette Wheels Into the Smithsonian

WASHINGTON — A 1991 Corvette, neither the oldest car nor the fastest but one of the flashiest, was enshrined Monday in the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History as its first American racing sports car.

“By most people, it is considered the Grand Sports Corvette of this generation,” said Tommy C. Morrison, president of Morrison Motorsports Inc., who donated his car, No. 92, to the Smithsonian.

No. 92 finished fourth in class and 11th overall at the 24 Hours of Daytona and sixth in class and 16th overall of Sebring in 1991.
