In 1969 Alan Bean, Charles “Pete” Conrad, and Richard Gordon all ordered what would become the most famous astronaut Corvettes of all. Painted gold and black to match their lunar module spacecraft, and bedecked with triple-carb 427s, this trio of Corvettes was featured in many press photos and came to define the pilots and their cars.
