Our Crystal Red Corvette raffle winner was drawn this afternoon and congratulations to Wayne Shawber from Deshler, OH – our newest raffle winner! Wayne had winning ticket #291 and took Museum delivery of a 2006 Corvette a few years ago.

Your next chance to win a new Corvette is coming up in two weeks when we draw the winner of the “Build Your Own” Coupe/Convertible Corvette raffle. Only 2,008 tickets will be sold on a chance to build a new Corvette your way choosing from currently available colors/options – excluding the Z06 and Pace Car options.

Jake Merchandise Still Arriving

Jake" the C6.R Racing Mascot was inspired by a flaming skull and a "take no prisoners" message on the Corvette pit wall at the 2004 Le Mans. 

The "take no prisoners" attitude of Corvette Racing is reflected in the skull and flames graphic of this heavyweight, preshrunk 100% cotton tee.

Find this and other “Jake” merchandise arriving daily online in our Corvette Store at: http://store.corvettemuseum.com/SearchResult.aspx?CategoryID=84 or call (800) 53-VETTE to place your order.
