Default Corvette Museum Experience

I picked up my 2012 Centennial Z06 in June after it was traded in to my local dealer with 427 miles on it. (kinda funny "427") I always wanted to have a museum delivery when I bought a new one. My dad and I have been restoring vette's for many years. We have now restored a '63 split window fuelie, a '63 split window, and a '59 vert. I learned about the museum experience and thought it was a good alternative to a museum delivery. I spoke with the museum and set it up. We toured the factory and museum on Aug 3rd. It was an amazing day and we are really happy that we did it!!! Here are some pictures from the experience.

This was the experience. I have had the Z06 since June, but always wanted to do a museum delivery. I couldn't with mine because I got it from a local dealers lot. The experience is basically Museum delivery. You bring your vette in and they clean it for delivery while you are on the factory and museum tour.

I met several folks from down under during the '09 Vette caravan....

One of the guys was also a Pontiac/Holden fan (GTO)....I learned a lot about Holden
that night we got smashed....

Really nice folks.

Op...nice ride.
