Plan Your VIP Visit Today!

If you're thinking about a vacation to Bowling Green with a visit to the GM Corvette Assembly Plant, be sure to make the trip before Friday, September 14, 2012. The plant will be closing to the public for a $131 million upgrade. We'll keep you posted on when it's back open, but meanwhile - now's the time to book your Xperience or VIP Tour!

VIP Tours are 3-5 hours and include both the Plant and Museum. They are more in-depth and include portions not available on regular tours. VIP Tours are $250 for up to four people, and you can add on up to three more people for $50 each (total of 7). Learn more about our VIP Tour program online here.

If you own a Corvette, why not welcome spring with a good cleaning, special display of your ride inside the Museum, and tours of the plant and Museum? Our NCM Xperience is $350, offering not only VIP tours, but also an exterior cleaning of your Corvette and display of your car on Corvette Boulevard, viewable via our webcams. Learn more here.

NCM Bash Around the Corner

It's less than a month until registration closes for this year's NCM Bash (formerly C5/C6 Bash) - have you signed up? New this year includes demonstrations on striping and sculpting from Corvette Design, Track Rat team members Jim Mero and Jeff Mosher on setting records at the Nurburgring and the much anticipated unveiling of the 2013 Corvette - including the new 427 Convertible! Check out the complete agenda online here.

Don't forget! VIR registration opens at 8am CT next Wednesday, March 21. It will sell out! More information about this year's event and activities is online here.

Seeking 3rd and 6th Gen. Patriotic Vettes
 

This summer and fall we welcome a special display, September 11, 2001: A Global Moment to our Exhibit Hall. To further illustrate Corvette's patriotic ties, we've reserved the four coveted spots on our Skydome pedestals from May through October for Corvettes with not only patriotic paint schemes - but especially those with September 11 tributes.

Congratulations to Joseph Sykes of Vineland, NJ and Daniel Van Lannen of Green Bay, WI for filling our C4 and C5 spots! We still have two spots left and are seeking a C3 and C6. If you have a Corvette that fits this theme, please email pictures and details to katie@corvettemuseum.org.

Thanks to Our Field Trip Funders!
 

Thanks to three more businesses and individuals who have stepped up to fund field trips for groups who might not otherwise get to visit!

Those funding field trips include:
- Franklin Bank & Trust
- Cake Stuff, Inc. - owned by Jerry and Dee Means of Wichita, KS
- NCM Board Member Ivan Schrodt and wife Mary of Sherwood, WI

We sincerely appreciate the support everyone has been giving our educational endeavors!

Volunteers Help the Museum
 

A huge thank you goes out to all of our wonderful volunteers!  Without you, we would not be able to accomplish nearly as many projects or host the hundreds of guests during our events.  In 2011, we were blessed to have 390 volunteers who logged more than 6,637 hours! 

Most recently, Nashville Corvette Club caravanned up with 20 members and spent their Saturday afternoon cataloging, preparing member and show packets and assisting with several facility needs.  Thanks to all of you for your help! 

Our next two volunteer groups will be joining us on March 31 – Western Kentucky Corvette Club and a dedicated group of NCM Lifers from the Atlanta, Georgia area.  If your club is interested in planning a club visit weekend or work weekend, please contact Stephanie Morrill by email or at 270-467-8837.
