I was there for the first time this past June and really enjoyed the museum. I was ready to stock up on C2 shirts, hats, etc from the gift shop, but was extremely disappointed as they carry very few C2 items! Disappointing for me, but I guess they have to stock the items that sell the most, which would be C5-7. Still a great experience.

Lots of changes there since I was there about 8 years ago. Nice to see a fawn 62 in the lineup.

I remember being the the rotunda and thinking that the floor seems like a drum under my feet....

I've been there several times...back when the Corvette Forum had the "Cruise In's" (hint hint!!!).

Neat place and looks to be even better.

Same issue...nothing for C2's hardly.....

I stopped in there in August with my son, We were really disappointed in the lack of c1 stuff. It was full of 80's Callaway and ugly race cars imo. I was hoping for more original cars...

Maybe I am jaded from going to so many car shows and show and shines.

Oh well, I more off the bucket list and it was good bonding time.
