V.I.P. Corvette Plant Tours

If you haven't had a chance to visit since October 2013, make plans this spring to see the newly remodeled GM Corvette Assembly Plant!

Our V.I.P. tours pair you with a knowledgeable guide who is happy to spend time explaining the build process and marveling at the engineering wonders of the Plant with you.

V.I.P. tours are $200 for up to four people. Additional persons are $50 each and your group is limited to seven. Your tour includes not only the Plant, but also a "behind the scenes" guided tour of the Museum.

Learn more online here.

Farewell to a Friend

We would like to wish NCM Staff Member Roc Linkov a happy retirement! Roc served as the Museum's Events Department Manager for 10 years, transitioning over to serve as the Motorsports Park Project Manager in 2013. Prior to joining the Museum team "officially" Roc served as Caravan chair for the 2003 event.

During his tenure at the Museum, Roc was instrumental in developing our High Performance Drivers' Education Program, and many of the teen driving programs we have offered over the years. He worked with the Kentucky State Police to develop the annual "1-Lap" event benefitting both the Museum and the nonprofit "Trooper Island" camp for underprivileged kids. Roc recognized that our friends can't always come to Bowling Green for a visit, so he launched the "Museum in Motion" program taking groups on the road to Canada, California, France, the Northeast and more... always going where the public can't go!

Roc had planned on retiring later in 2014, but after purchasing a home in Florida and selling his Kentucky home much sooner than anticipated, he decided to move forward with his retirement. Roc will still be involved with the Museum, volunteering his time as an instructor at HPDEs. Best Wishes to Roc!

Cheap Cruise Fares Ending Soon!

Each year the Museum partners with Cruise Holidays to offer a special journey for Corvette enthusiasts - and 2014 will offer a fun cruise aboard the Celebrity ship to Alaska. The 7-night, 8-day trip kicks off June 20th and takes participants to Vancouver, Ketchikan, Icy Strait Point, Juneau, Skagway, Seward and past Hubbard Glacier.

Pricing starts at $1,454 and includes the cruise fare and taxes, gratuities, on board meals, a private NCM cocktail party, exclusive onboard NCM events, a group event, on board cruise escort, pre-cruise planning concierge service and travel insurance. Space is limited and certain cabins will sell out. A special four day post cruise excursion is also available as an add on.

Celebrity also offers the 1,2,3 GO promotion in which you can choose 1 of 3 promotions to add to your cruise, with the best value a complimentary Classic Beverage Package (a $308 per person value)!
