GM Sales Incentive Update

We now have 67 confirmed purchases through the GM Sales Incentive Program and only have 33 left to reach our goal of 100!

Once we reach our goal, $25,000 will be donated to the NCM Building Campaign! NCM members and supporters have been diligently working to persuade people who currently own a non-GM vehicle (1996 model year or newer) to purchase any new GM vehicle by December 31, 2006. We only have until December 31 to reach our goal, and truly appreciate all of the help we are receiving from clubs and NCM members who are spreading the word. This generous challenge is just one of the many creative ways that you can help us continue our mission of celebration, education and preservation of the Corvette!
