Default Museum delivery, how many times?

I got my C6 with a museum delivery and loved it so much I'm doing it again on my C7. How many of you have done the museum delivery more than one time?

I regret not getting museum delivery. I don't even have my car yet but I feel like this may be a once in a lifetime thing and wish I had splurged.

Ive done it twice so far, first for my 1999 and again for my 2005.
Ill be doing it again in October for my 2015. At that point you
could only bring 1 guest, now you can bring 3. Highly recommended!!

I did it for the first time with my C7. It was a great experience. I wish I had done it with my C5 and C6. If I get a C8, I will do it again.

I would have loved a museum delivery but my order timing would have had me driving 800 miles home during the winter months.

Didn't for my C5 and C6. Did for my C7. You will love it for your C8!!!

You will LOVE the C7. Your disappointment about no Museum delivery for your C7 will disappear the moment you first drive your C7. Have fun!

I had been to the plant and museum a number of times, but my C7 delivery in December was my first museum delivery. I would do it again!

I've only ordered on new Vette (a '99), but if I do order a C7 instead of finding a gently used one, I will opt for the Museum delivery.

Good to hear that so many people enjoy the museum delivery; this one will be my first so i'm hoping that it'll be really memorable and awesome!

At NMC today. This is my second time. First October 2001 and tomorrow I will be taking delivery of a TR Z-51 convertible with 3LE. We are very excited. Photos will follow. Thanks Mike Furman of Criswell Chevrolet.

We did it on our C6 and had a huge blast. Recently did it on our C7 and it was a great time but no where near as fun as the first time. Next time we buy one out of state we'll probably fly in and drive home.

We should form a Corvette Museum delivery club, we could meet twice a year at the museum. I'm sure w,e could get GM Corvette leadership to meet with us and brief us, on what is happening in the corvette world. Maybe we could get question and answer meeting on technical issues and problem areas on new production

We did the buyers tour and museum delivery in 2010 for our Grand Sport Convertible. When we buy a C7 we will do both again

I'm set for first time next Monday at 10:30. Just turned 60 and the C7 will be my 6th Corvette. Certainly don't expect it to be my last but realistically, it could be. Always wanted to do the museum delivery and since I was ordering this car, (first one not off the dealer's showroom) I figured I'd better go for it.

I've never done it before, but I'm gonna do it with my C7.

Kind of a bucket list thing I want to do.
