Corvette Club Members,

Would a sneak preview of the 2009 Corvette SS
and a meeting with its designer Kirk Bennion,
the Chief Designer of GM’s Corvette Design Studio,
be of interest to your club members?

The Attleboro Arts Museum is proud to preview the super-charged 2009 Corvette SS and its designer as part of its Viktor Schreckengost-Legacy Exhibition running from March 21-May 16.

GM Chief Designer Kirk Bennion was a student of industrial designer and educator Viktor Schreckengost. Mr. Schreckengost taught for over 70 years and it is estimated that every living adult in the United States has used objects designed by him or one of his students. As part of the Museum’s tribute exhibition to Mr. Schreckengost, we have asked his accomplished students to display some of their own creative designs. Kirk Bennion and the 2009 Corvette SS are a wonderful example of Viktor Schreckengost’s influence, and the Attleboro Arts Museum is pleased to spotlight this extraordinary vehicle and its designer.

The Museum will be hosting a presentation and Q&A by Kirk Bennion on Saturday, March 29, 2008. This unique event would offer Corvette enthusiasts the chance to view the 2009 SS, meet with Mr. Bennion, and tour the entire Viktor Schreckengost-Legacy Exhibition.

Its interesting they are calling it the Corvette SS and not a ZR-1

That's what I thought. However, as I interpret this communication, this exhibition is really focusing on the influence of Victor Schreckegost rather than the ZR1. The arts museum probably doesn't know a Corvette from a VW!!

I just returned from the Detroit International Auto Show, the new ZR1 was there, there is no mention of it being called an SS anywhere. It is an incredible machine! Makes me proud to be a member of the Corvette family.
Chevy has applied the SS to a lot of models this year but not the Corvette.
