Cartersville, GA - Savoy Automobile Museum announced the opening of its latest temporary exhibit, Small Block Muscle, which will be on display now through November 9, 2025. The small block engine was a lightweight, compact V8 engine designed by Chevrolet in 1955. It combined performance with practicality. Other manufacturers also had their own small block engines that were high in performance and did not fit the big block category. The exhibit features various manufacturers’ small block vehicles through the years.
