2010 Torch Red Raffle Car’s New Parent Announced

John Walters from Yorktown Heights, NY was the winner of the 2010 Torch Red Coupe raffle drawn last week.  He had ticket #60 and enters our raffles often. 

He said, "You're kidding me, fantastic, unbelievable!  I'm speechless."  He thought he would never win but was very happy to get Megan's call and told her he loved her. John has never owned a Corvette or been to the Museum.  He's currently driving a Honda Civic with 190,000 miles and we reminded him that he's getting ready to upgrade soon.

We still have other chances for you to own your dream car.  At the time of this post only 258 tickets have been sold on the Build Your Own Z06 raffle which will be drawn at 2 pm CST regardless of the number of tickets sold.  To get your ticket or for information on additional raffle opportunities, visit our website at www.corvettemuseum.org/raffle/ or call 800-538-3883.

Dealerships Help Build NCM Library

Unfortunately, several Chevrolet Dealerships will not be operating after next year. Many have been around a long time and have accumulated a great deal of literature and memorabilia.  The National Corvette Museum Library and Archives would be a great home for these items. 

If there are dealerships in your area that might have items to donate we would be very appreciative of your assistance in contacting them.  The National Corvette Museum is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit educational foundation under the Rules and Regulations of the Internal Revenue Service. Any donation, either in cash or in-kind would be considered as a tax deductible donation under those Rules and Regulations. 

Any donations or questions for the Library and Archives can be sent to:
Betty Hardison
Library and Archives Coordinator
National Corvette Museum
350 Corvette Dr

Do you have a vanity plate that shows your love for Corvette or the NCM?  If so, send us an old plate and you may see it displayed as a part of our new Corvette Enthusiast area.  Please send your original license plate to Betty Hardison, National Corvette Museum, 350 Corvette Drive, Bowling Green, Kentucky 42101. License Plates submitted will not be returned and those not used in the current display may be used in a future exhibit.
