National Corvette Museum eNews
  April 21, 2011
Clear Paint Protection Available at NCM
 

Your new vehicle is vulnerable to damage the minute you drive it off the lot. Traditional methods of protecting your car’s paint, such as bras and bug shields, can actually cause further damage, are unsightly and obscure the color brilliance you were originally aiming to protect.

The National Corvette Museum now offers clear paint protection by Clearshield and Scotchgard by 3M.

These nearly undetectable, protective urethane films are designed to resist impact from the everyday damaging road hazards such as gravel, debris, stones, road salt and even insects.

Members save 10%, and Lifetime Members save 15%. Check out the details online here.

New Mini Hexagon Wood Bricks Available

With the increasing popularity of our Hexagon Brick Program, we now have an additional option to commemorate your Museum visit, Corvette, or club! Our 4” Mini Hex is made of red alder wood, includes the NCM logo on a beveled edge base and a key hole for hanging featured on the hexagon.

Order yours today with our low introductory pricing of only $50!  For an even bigger savings, order your Mini Hex as a duplicate to your Hexagon brick order!

Last Chance for Tickets! 50 Year of Le Mans Film Premiere Raises Funds for Chip Miller Foundation

With all the makings of a Hollywood drama, love story and action film, “The Quest” documents the incredible story of the first Corvette to win its class at the famous track in Le Mans France in 1960. Of course the car couldn't have done it alone – “The Quest” tells the untold tale of the driver and the man who dreamed to take the car back to France for the 50th anniversary of the win but who lost his life early to a rare disease called Amyloidosis.

For one night only, the Chip Miller Charitable Foundation (CMCF) is premiering the heartwarming documentary created by the award-winning filmmaker Michael Brown. The movie will show on Friday, May 6th at 7:30 p.m. at the Carlisle Theatre, 44 West High Street in downtown Carlisle, Pennsylvania. All proceeds from the tickets will benefit the Foundation.

The deadline to purchase tickets is next Friday, April 29. Visit www.QuestDocumentary.com for tickets.
