Corvette Buyers Tour Excitement Builds

The “Corvette Buyers Tour” option opened in late May, and since it began we have welcomed approximately 80 participants.

There are 15 participants for the month of September and we have begun booking into October. If you are purchasing a new Corvette, we invite you to be a part of the “Corvette Buyers” Tour available to new Corvette buyers!

This exciting tour is being offered in conjunction with the Bowling Green Corvette Assembly Plant, and offers a VIP journey through the Assembly Plant for you and up to 3 guests to experience the assembly of America’s Sports Car with your very own personal tour guide. Participants in the “Buyers Tour” may also be able to schedule their tour on the day their Corvette is being built. You might be able to “give birth” to your Corvette and start your Corvette’s engine for the very first time. Buyer’s Tour participants will also receive an in-depth 3-5 hour private tour. Find out more about this exclusive tour by visiting our website at: http://store.corvettemuseum.com/services/buyertour.asp or by calling our Museum Delivery Team at: (800) 205-4248.

GM Sales Initiative Update

A challenge of encouraging 100 people who currently own a non-GM vehicle (1996 MY or newer) to purchase any new GM Vehicle by December 31 was issued to us by a prominent member of the NCM who has had a long career at General Motors.

Meeting the challenge will result in a $25,000 donation to our building campaign. We announced the GM Sales Initiative several months ago and the response has really taken off. We have 33 confirmed purchases and 27 verbally committed through the program.

The buyer does not have to sell or trade-in his non-GM vehicle to qualify. The initial deadline date was August 31, but the program has been extended to December 31, in order for us to continue networking with Corvette clubs and members who are considering purchasing new Corvettes and other Chevrolet and GM products. We appreciate the support of everyone who is helping us reach our goal to obtain the funds for our building campaign. We hope you will continue to help us spread the word to your club members and fellow enthusiasts to reach 100!
