Congratulations “Build Your Own” Corvette Raffle Winner!
Congratulations to Ken Almer, drawn this afternoon as the winner of our “Build Your Own” Corvette Coupe/Convertible raffle drawing! Ken is from Oro Valley, AZ and owns a 2002 magnetic red convertible now, but he has never been to the Museum. He was familiar with the Delivery Program because several members of his Corvette Club have taken delivery. He said he has never won anything before, but thought he would take a chance on this raffle, and he is so glad he did.
Thanks to everyone who participated on this fundraiser. Your next chance to win a new Corvette is coming up on Wednesday, December 5 at 2:00 p.m. CT! Only 500 tickets are being sold at $250 each.
Find out more and get your ticket online at: http://www.corvettemuseum.com/raffle/index.shtml or call us at: (800) 53-VETTE. You just might be our next Corvette raffle winner!

 Dan Hancork, GM Powertrain VP Global Engineering and team members of GM Power Train along with Tom Wallace, Corvette Vehicle Line Executive, made a visit yesterday to tour the NCM and gather ideas for a new interactive power train display that will soon be part of our tour experience.

Early Site Development Underway
Early site development is underway on our expansion! The crew is busy preparing the grounds for major underground utilities and will be leveling out the site and laying crushed stone over the building pad, parking lot and driveways.
Our plan is to take advantage of the better weather still remaining so that when actual construction starts in the spring, we will have a clean site and the crew can begin construction with a head start. Our official groundbreaking is scheduled for April as part of the Bash event – look for more details coming soon.
