Should explain everything. The absolute coolest way to take delivery of your new car, drive it right off the floor of the museum. :thumbs:

In short and to add to the reply above. It is the only way to get a "factory delivered" Corvette in the hands of enthusiasts like us. Regulations within GM doesn't allow direct pick-up of Corvettes from the Assembly Plant in Bowling Green. Since the Plant is only a stone-throw from the NCM, you get your brand-new Corvette literaly from the factory.
And it is worth the price of admission too!

When you order a new 'vette, you select option code R8C for $490, and let the Museum staff do the rest. It's a great experience!

When you consider the price of the car, the extra jack for Museum delivery is well worth it. I did it and enjoyed every minute!

Re: (OT)simple question... what is museum delivery (Yellow79)
It was an experience I paid $160 for back when we picked up our Grand Sport.February/1996. Today,the cost has risen to $490 and basically the same set-up....except for the complimentary plant tour if wanted. Nice experience to go through though... have elected not to do it again with my '99 and '02. I purchase my Corvettes from Campbell Chevrolet in Bowling Green anyway..So,drive to BG for that pickup and still enjoy the Museum and take the tour thru the factory.....Your Corvette sets on display with protective barricades for the visitors to enjoy.....You will receive a laser etched wooden plaque either from the selling Dealer or at the Museum..I received mine the day I picked the GS up. One of the Museum employees will explain all the options on your new Corvette and answer all your questions. Some people believe,and it may be true,the Corvettes picked up at the Museum,generally are better prepped,as not to have an embarrassed situation on pickup day if something would be amiss. On the drivers door jamb,a 'museum delivery' decal is placed there as well.......Hope this answers the question for you......
