Default NCM Xperience

I participated in the National Corvette Museum NCM Xperience when I went down to the Cruise In last month. This is a 2nd chance museum delivery for any Vette. I got my Vette at the end of July 04, so the museum delivery was not an option for me.

It was a lot of fun. I had my very own tour guide (Amanda) for the day. She escorted my friends and my self on the extended factory tour (about 2 hrs) and a privet Museum tour that you can get in to some of the back rooms. She was very knowledgeable and did an excellent job.

I took a lot of pics with my new camera and did not set it up right, so the pics are not as sharp as they could be and I did not get my external flash working correctly. However they did come out ok.

Lots of pics here >>> http://community.webshots.com/album/551653027NlDHLQ

The NCM experience is available to any year Corvette except the current year....you get basically the same treatment as you would if you had the Museum Delivery option on a a new car (R8C). I wish I lived closer.....I'd do it in a heartbeat! Very C L

Wow, wow, wow. This is great. What a terrific way for the NCM to raise funds and support the older cars!

I'm not far away so I gotta do this. Standby.

I did the Experience and I highly recommend it. The plant tour was incredible - not your regular tour. They really roll out the red carpet!
