National Corvette Museum Delivery Experience: The Corvette Experience of a Lifetime
If you are lucky enough to be ordering a new Corvette, you definitely should take advantage of the Corvette Museum delivery experience.
You are buying a brand-new Corvette. Congratulations! Maybe it is the result of a lifelong dream and scrimping and saving for years. Perhaps it is a retirement gift to yourself. Maybe you have been buying a new Corvette every year for the last 20 years. Or you are a YouTuber hoping to make some content with your new C8. Regardless of the reason, buying a new Corvette is a special experience. And since 1995, you can make it even more special by taking advantage of the Corvette Museum Delivery experience. At the time you place your order check the Corvette Museum Delivery option (R8C) for $995 and a whole world of Corvette awesomeness becomes available to you. You also get to bring up to three guests to share the special day with you. Of course, only one will be lucky enough to be in the car with you.
Even though the program has been around for nearly 30 years, some folks don’t know exactly what the Corvette Museum delivery experience is all about. So, recently Chevrolet posted a video on their YouTube channel as part of their Chevy MyWay series to share the details of the program. If you were on the fence about taking advantage of this option, this video will probably convince you to do it. Heck, this video might just convince you to buy a Corvette just for the delivery experience.
National Corvette Museum
First, a bit about the National Corvette Museum itself. It opened in 1994, and Corvette Museum delivery became available the next year. It is in Bowling Green, Kentucky just a quarter mile from where every Corvette since 1981 has been assembled. Wonder if that quarter mile distance is a coincidence? Anyway, there is 115,000 square feet of interior space with more than 80 Corvettes from every era on display. There is the Corvette Store where you can purchase all types of Corvette-themed apparel, collectibles, and gifts. Just in front of the store is the Corvette delivery area. And just outside is the fantastic National Corvette Museum racetrack where you can push your car and yourself to the limit. Even if you are not picking up a new Corvette it is well worth a trip to visit the Corvette Museum.
Corvette Museum Delivery Experience
So, what exactly do you get for your $995? Well, most obviously you get to take delivery of your new Corvette at the Corvette Museum instead of your local Chevy dealer. You get a VIP tour of the museum which includes seeing your new car on display. You get a personalized interior plaque that has your name, VIN and the National Corvette Museum logo on it. The experience also includes having a Corvette host assigned to you all day. That host is available to go over every feature and button on your new car, so you know how everything works. A one-year membership to the Corvette Museum and the National Council of Corvette Clubs is included as well. You also get a discount on some touring laps of the track and at the Corvette store. An option you can add on is a photo album of your Corvette being built.
Driving Off
The Corvette Museum delivery certainly offers more than enough to justify the price paid. Especially for the diehard Corvette lover. Which, if you just ordered a new one, it is safe to assume you are. The experience ends when your new Corvette is driven out of the building and the keys are officially passed over to you. All you have to do at that point is drive off into the sunset and begin your adventure with your new Corvette.
