What is the Corvette “Buyers Tour?”
The following information is straight off NCM’s web site. However, a personal thought or two as an introduction, and before that we all know why there are no Buyers Tours going on right now, i.e., that there is a secret potential future Corvette product intermittently being assembled within the Plant that they do not want us to see or know about. Ssssh.
To me, the single best part of owning a new Corvette is to spend two to three days watching my Corvette be made. You and a friend, with a full time tour guide, walk down the assembly line, along side your Corvette as piece by piece, parts are installed onto your car. Often an assembly worker will come over and talk to you before or after they work on your car. It is such an exhilarating, positively-emotional experience. The workers are terrific, very friendly and welcoming. And as you are doing this, you have a full time NCM Delivery Specialist Tour Guide telling you thousands of details as to what is happening and why, there to answer your every question as you three watch your car being built. Most of the guides are just retired from the Plant workers. They know and share stuff that one will never learn elsewhere.
And despite the official BGA position that every car is assembled with the identical care, if a BGA asssembly specialist sees you and your friend standing there in your safety vest, with a person next to you, they know to be a Buyers Tour Guide, I know that they will always be doing their total best as they install your seat, your door, your motor, your windshield, etc. As as noted in the separate thread linked below (Corvette Extra Quality Control Audits, or GCA’s), having a Buyers Tour also increases (but never guarantees) your chances of your car getting a post-assembly extra QC review process.
I will not get my C8 until the Buyers Tour program resumes!
