1961 Corvette at Miles Through Time Automotive Museum

1961 Chevrolet Corvette at Miles Through Time Automotive Museum
Make: Chevrolet | Model: Corvette Year: 1961 | Original price: $3934

This 61 Corvette was purchased by Dick in 2000 and since then he pretty much replaced or gone over everything mechanical in the car. Even the engine is no longer stock, now there is a 350 under the hood with plenty of power.

This car gets driven all the time and Dick enjoys showing it to onlookers. Dick has recently moved from Florida and now calls Georgia home so once this car leaves the museum you may see it cruising around.

1961 was the 9th year of the C1 Corvette which went from 1953 to 1962. Although this one looks like the iconic red, it’s actually Ferrari Red which is a slightly brighter version of red than the stock Roman Red.

Notice this car has a trunk. After the C1, Corvette would not have a trunk again until 1998 which only had a separate trunk on the convertible model.

😎 ABOUT MILES THROUGH TIME
Miles Through Time Automotive Museum boasts over 100 years of automotive history, memorabilia, art, and unique historical exhibits you won’t find anywhere else.

Unlike other museums where the same displays sit there year after year, Miles Through Time changes often…which means more opportunities for you to see more cars and more history. Memberships are available so you can come back again and again.

Miles Through Time is a nonprofit, “living” co-op-style automotive and history museum in Clarkesville, GA. Automobiles, memorabilia, and historical exhibits have all been donated or belong to those who support the museum and the historical preservation mission of Miles Through Time. This is not one man’s collection but a cooperative collection of dozens of supporters.

This unique exhibit style makes the museum ever-changing, unlike some museums and collections that may remain static for years. This is not the case here, as we are frequently changing and expanding our displays.

🏁 ABOUT SEAN MATHIS
Sean Mathis is the Founder of the Miles Through Time Automotive Museum.

In 2017, Sean Mathis started Miles Through Time Automotive Museum in Toccoa, GA. Other than an idea and his Pop’s 1959 Cadillac Coupe De Ville, Sean didn’t have anything that would warrant starting an automotive museum.

The concept was to create a museum supplied with exhibits from the community. Initially, storage and consignment were the biggest push to add vehicles to the museum. Fun fact, the very first vehicle to officially be added to the museum belonged to the guy who installed the internet.

By 2019 the museum had been completely maxed out for space and about 50 vehicles had come and gone from being on display. If the museum was open it was because Sean was there. After the first year of being open Sean had moved more than an hour away from the museum and still did everything by himself to not only keep the museum but grow it.

At the end of 2019, Sean made the decision to relocate the museum to the Old Clarkesville Mill. MTT was closed for the season in October of 2019 and the process to relocate the museum began.

Moving the museum was a big ordeal with many changes. The first was that Miles Through Time became a 501c3 nonprofit. The second was Truitt Phillips was made Executive Director and Curator.

MTT officially opened in the new location after quite a few setbacks in May of 2020. Both Sean and Truitt’s ambition and love for sharing cars is never-ending.

You’ll typically see Sean at the museum most Saturdays if you’d like to meet him.
