Warm weather and racing are a great combination and our April calendar wallpaper sets a perfect tone for the season. Taken from the 2008 12-Hours of Sebring race, this image makes an eye catching wallpaper you will want to share.

Our calendar wallpaper is free and can be downloaded in six resolution sizes. Find this and other calendar wallpaper online at: http://www.corvettemuseum.com/pictures/calendar.shtml


Approximately Three Weeks Left on the Victory Red Corvette Raffle

You can spend $10 on a ticket to win a 2008 Victory Red Corvette Convertible and become our next Corvette raffle winner if your ticket is drawn! The raffle drawing on this Corvette sporting a cashmere interior, polished aluminum wheels and the 3LT package is approximately three weeks away, and we will draw the winning ticket on Saturday, April 26 as part of the Bash event.

The drawing takes place at 3:00 p.m. and our winner need not be present to win. Perhaps you participate in many of our raffle fundraisers and if so, we thank you. If you never have, it's a great opportunity to win a new Corvette! Find out more and purchase your tickets online at: http://www.corvettemuseum.com/raffle/index.shtml or call us at: (800) 53-VETTE.


Showcase Your Corvette As Part of an NCM Display  

The NCM is a “living” Museum with displays that constantly change and we are accepting applications for Corvette display cars – especially 1954 and 1955 model years.

If you are interested in offering your Corvette to the Museum to feature on display, NCM exhibit/display loan papers can be obtained by clicking the download link at: http://www.corvettemuseum.com/display/index.shtml and returning them to Betty Hardison, NCM Resource Center Coordinator.

Thank you for consideration in continuing the mission of educating and preserving America’s Sports Car.
