Special Edition Grand Sport Raffle Soon!

Congratulations to Fill Corey of Perryville, KY! Fill held winning ticket number 0307 in today's drawing for a "Build Your Own" Grand Sport. We sold 658 of the 1,000 tickets.

We always select a random museum visitor for the drawing, and today's was a bit of a celebrity! Dennis Shaw is a former coach for the TC Williams High School football team of Alexandria, VA. If you have seen the movie, "Remember the Titans," the team may sound familiar, their story was the basis for the film! Dennis was sporting a nice championship ring and he shared with us that story when we asked about it.

In two weeks we raffle off the chance to Build Your Own Z06 or Grand Sport with $60,000 Cash Option! Tickets are $400, limited to 500 tickets.

Then, October 10 in Lexington, Kentucky we draw a winner for our 2010 'Special Edition' Crystal Red Grand Sport Convertible! The car is VIN 14 and features a special "one off" centerstack, unique center console leather wrap, one-off sill plates, stitching accents on the center armrest, special rear badge and more! Although the drawing is on Sunday, the raffle will end at 8:00am on Saturday, October 9 to allow for ticket processing and transport. Get your orders in early before it is too late!

Get your tickets today online at corvettemuseum.org/raffle or call 800-538-3883.

This is a special opportunity for clubs to shine at the NCM and showcase their club’s support.

Our first club selected is The Original Corvette Club of St. Louis, a Lifetime Club Member of the museum. The club selected member Shirley Berving's 1965 Corvette to represent them. Shirley's car will be on display in the turntable through December.
