On Sunday, July 28 at 7:30 a.m., the Constellation Rally will take participants on a scenic route from Pasadena to the Petersen through the heart of Los Angeles. Three iconic Corvettes from the Petersen collection will take part in the rally, including a beautiful silver 1961 Corvette which will lead participants on the course.
