Former director of performance car exterior design at General Motors, Tom Peters, is the new Consulting Curator of Exhibits at the National Corvette Museum.
Peters, who worked for GM for over 35 years, helped curate an exhibit for the NCM earlier this year called “Car-toon Creatures, Kustom Kars and Corvettes: The Art and Influence of Ed ‘Big Daddy’ Roth.” This inspired NCM president and CEO Dr. Sean Preston to ask Peters if he would re-emerge from retirement and provide it with more expert advice as the newest addition to its curatorial team, a request to which he happily agreed.
