15th Anniversary Registration Opens

These are exciting times at the NCM and the 15th Anniversary Corvette Celebration is a time to share our excitement with you! Registration is now open for the four-day festivities that include the Corvette Hall of Fame, special displays, our grand reopening ceremony, 4th National Corvette Caravan arrivals, entertainment, and as many activities as we can pack-in to show you a great time!

The agenda is online and details all of the fun! Basic registration is only $10 for members so register online. All non-members registering will receive an individual membership to the Museum as part of the non member price! We look forward to celebrating 15 years with you! If you haven't registered for the Caravan yet, find out more and sign up here.

Each time we make the winning call to announce “Hey, you just won a new Corvette” it continues to be the highlight of the day for not only our team but everyone watching as the winner is drawn! This afternoon we had the fun of calling Charles Riblett of Loveland, CO – ticket number 307 as the winner of the 2009 Black Coupe raffle! Charles’s wife wanted to be sure this wasn’t a late April Fools Day joke as we spoke with him. “This is wonderful!” he shared with us along with the fact that he has never owned a Corvette before! Congratulations Charles we look forward to welcoming you to the Corvette family!

Your next chance to win is coming up Saturday, April 25, 2009 at 4:00 p.m. CT as part of the C5/C6 Bash event scheduled for April 23-25. You could win a 2009 Victory Red Convertible for only $10! Find out more and take a chance online or call us at (800) 538-3883.

April Wallpaper is Up

We are thrilled that so many enjoy our monthly calendar wallpaper and our April calendar is ready! The new image, available in six screen resolutions, features a 2002 arctic white Corvette sent in by NCM member Larry French – download it online.

If you have an image of your Corvette in a unique setting, send it in for consideration to be used in a future NCM wallpaper design. Please email digital images in jpg or tiff format at least 2000 x 1333 pixels to webmaster@corvettemuseum.org

Images will be considered based on quality and style. Corvette images only/no individuals included in the photo please.

There are 8 days left to pre-register for the Bash event and we have a lot of exciting things in store – don’t miss it. If you are one of the 700 that have already pre-registered for the event and would like to have a copy of your Corvette’s build sheet and window sticker waiting on you when you arrive, place your order before Thursday, April 14.
