The first 60 Mid America Motorworks customers who register for Corvette Day will have exclusive parking in the Mid America Motorworks Corral located on the top floor of the museum’s parking structure. The Mid America Motorworks Corral is limited to the first 60 Corvettes in honor of the 60 year celebration. Registration for Corvette Day is limited to 500 Corvettes and registrants. In addition to the activities, Mid America Motorworks will be providing the 500 attendees with a limited edition medallion commemorating Corvette’s 60th Anniversary.

“Mid America Motorworks’ relationship with the Petersen Automotive Museum goes back many years. We’re thrilled to have this opportunity to work with the Petersen and the Corvette community of Greater California for Corvette’s 60th Anniversary. There’s no better place to celebrate America’s Sports Car,” said Mike Yager, founder and Chief Cheerleader of Mid America Motorworks.
