Supporting National Corvette Museum

[John]

There is no National Mustang Museum, no National Porsche Museum, no National Viper Museum. The National Corvette Museum stands alone. It celebrates its 24th Anniversary next weekend (Labor Day).



The Museum and GM have become integral partners, each supporting the other to build our Corvette heritage, not just for now, but hopefully for the next many decades. Harlan Charles and Kai Spande are members of the NCM Board of Directors.

For those who are not NCM members, thanks for considering becoming so. It is a 501.C.3 organization, and not only do you get discounts on all purchases at the Corvette store, but also at NCM events; and you also receive a quarterly magazine, “America’s Sports Car.”

Next year, NCM again sponsors its “National Corvette Caravan,“ leading to the Museum from many different starting points all over the country.

Everyone can choose to start from the one closest to them, or start/go on any other they choose.



Thanks for considering joining next year’s National Corvette Caravan — which leads to the 25th Anniversary Celebration on Labor Day weekend.

Today, my wife and I received our 20 year membership documents for the National Corvette Museum. As you have seen in my signature box, we are also Lifetime Members, and annual Museum contributors. We have been involved in five National Corvette Caravans, and will be part of next year’s.



Thanks it you are already a NCM member, for supporting it! For those who are not yet, thank you for considering joining the Museum, and separately thank for considering joining next year’s National Corvette Caravan — which leads to another many-day, exciting event, the 25th Anniversary Celebration on Labor Day weekend.

Congrats on 20 years of membership. I just reached 15 years myself.

The museum continues to grow and get better each year and I can't think of a more worthy place to support.

Made my first visit to the NCM on the way home from Norms Wax & Chat III this last May. Bonnie and I are signed up for our first caravan next year for Labor Day.

I am a member and joining the Corvette Caravan to BG next year. Looking forward to my first visit to BG.

[John]

You will be in for a treat in so many ways. As the Caravan will be our 5th one, please don’t hesitate to PM me if you have any question, now, then, or just before you depart. Visiting the Museum and touring the Assembly Plant will be a thrill for you too.

I'll be going to the museum for the first time in a few weeks . We've drove past the museum dozens of times going on vacation but this will be the first time we get to stop & it was my wife's idea, thanks sweetie ?

Took NCM pickup option for our 2014 C7 because I wanted to see the Assembly Plant. Totally fascinating and interesting. Many people watched us take delivery of our car on the really cool web cams. We are now enthusiastic members of NCM,have been to the Bash , done the Tail of the Dragon run and Biltmore Castle tour. We are really looking forward to doing a NCM pickup of our ME and touring the totally new Assembly Plant. It’s well worth the cost for anyone who is thinking about it.

It sure is a great program. We enjoyed our Museum Delivery. At the same time, we enjoy NCM’s Buyers Tour even more, where one spends two to three days walking down the assembly line with a friend watching your Corvette being built. We will be doing a Buyers Tour for our C8.

[Quote=NationalCorvetteMuseum]BUYERS’ TOUR



**The Corvette Buyers Tour is temporarily unavailable. Tours of the Bowling Green Assembly Plant are closed and a date of reopening has not been determined. Please subscribe to NCM eNews for future updates.**

We are excited to be able to offer the Corvette Buyer’s Plant Tour in conjunction with the Bowling Green Corvette Assembly Plant! This program is offered to provide new Corvette buyer’s with a tour of the Assembly Plant.

See and experience the assembly of America’s Sports Car with your very own personal tour guide. You and 1 guest can enjoy a private tour of the Plant to see many areas not included on the general Plant tour. Your tour guide will provide information at the paint areas, body start area, installation of seats, doors, trunk, steering wheel, airbags, engine, etc. in addition to the general tour stops such as the marriage point, first start, end of line, DVT and water testing.

Unforeseen events that may increase or decrease production time could affect the original projected start and/or finish time of the build.

Cost: The cost of the Corvette Buyer’s Plant Tour experience is $800.00 and is payable on-line upon registration below. You must have an order number from your dealer before you can sign up for this tour.

What to Expect: After you have registered and paid the $800.00 fee, the NCM will monitor your car’s order number status.

Depending on when you sign up for this program, we’ll try to give approximately 10 days notice prior to your car’s build date. You will be contacted by a representative of the Museum to provide you with the estimated build date. At this time you can make travel arrangements. It is recommended that you purchase refundable airline tickets if you intend to fly, as the scheduled date may change due to unforeseen events that may increase or decrease production line rates.

Day of the Tour: You will be scheduled for a tour date and time. Please note that the plant operates from 6:12am Central Time to 4:42pm Central Time. You may need to arrive the day prior to your tour if you are scheduled for an early morning tour. Production schedule Monday through Friday, production days and hours may vary. The Regular plant hours are 6:12am to 4:42pm.

The NCM representative will contact you if there are any changes to your scheduled date or time. It is very important that we are provided with a cell phone number in order to reach you on short notice or after your arrival to Bowling Green.

No Guarantee: It is the desire of the Museum and the Assembly Plant that your tour experience enables you to see your new Corvette during your visit, but we cannot guarantee this as part of the program. The National Corvette Museum and the Bowling Green Assembly Plant will not be responsible for any costs you incur for this tour whether you see your car or not. You will not be entitled to a refund if you do not see your car, but we do promise that you will receive a memorable tour of the Corvette Assembly Plant.

What to Wear/What to Bring: Closed toe shoes (no sandals) are a requirement for all visitors. No cameras, backpacks, purses, fanny packs, cell phones or other packages or containers may be brought into the plant except by special request (for medical reasons, etc.). All rules must be adhered to or tour will be terminated with no refund.

Age Restrictions: Children must be ten years of age or older.

Guests: You may bring 1 additional guest at no charge. A maximum of 2 people may go on the Corvette Buyer’s Tour.

Advanced Registration: At least a 10 day advanced registration is required before the car starts being built.

R8C Museum Delivery Program: The Corvette Buyer’s Tour Program is NOT part of the R8C Museum Delivery Program. Museum Delivery Option R8C is totally separate and ordered through your Corvette Dealer at the time the order for your new Corvette is placed. If you purchased Museum Delivery Option R8C, you may also participate in the Corvette Buyers Tour by signing up through the link below. The additional fee required to participate in the Buyers Tour is $800.00 – this fee is in addition to the Museum Delivery Program fee. Please note that to participate in both programs will require two different trips to Bowling Green.

Corvette Photo Album: The Corvette Photo Album Program is NOT part of the R8C Delivery Program or the Corvette Buyers’ Tour Program, however – we do offer a discount if both the Buyers’ Tour and Photo Album are purchased jointly.

Lori Bieschke is also available to assist. She can be reached at [email protected] or call (800) 205-4248 / (270) 467-8851.[/Quote]
