Don't call your dealer, but don't be too suprised if he is not of much help. My dealer had never had anyone actually ask for it before, I was the first. Thanks to the forum, I knew much more than the dealer did.
Once you get your build date, you can call the museum and get a date set, which will be about two weeks after the build week. The Museum will send you a package for transportation and hotels. You will probably fly into Nashville, take a shuttle or rent a one way car ($90) from the airport to Bowling Green. You will get up early, go to the museum and watch a short film, they will take you on a two and a half hour tour of the plant. After that you could go to lunch or directly to a tour of the museum. After the tour they will bring you to your new ride, give you a going over of how the basics work, drive the vechicle to the front door of the museum, take your picture getting delivery and send you on your way. Total time 5-6 hours. Good luck, it is worth every cent.

I wish we could get Musuem Delivery. Apparently GM Canada does not think this is something we would want. Too bad they never listen to their customers.

Here is information from a website on Canadian import rules: http://www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/E/pub/cp/...tml#P125_12356
"CBSA restrictions
"Import restrictions apply to most used or second-hand vehicles that are not manufactured in the current year.
"To obtain information about the CBSA restrictions and the exceptions that apply, please refer to the CBSA pamphlet, Importing a Vehicle Into Canada (RC4140). A copy of the publication is available at any CBSA office or by calling the CBSA National Distribution Centre at 1-800-959-2221.
"United States
"Under the provisions of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), the CBSA restrictions do not apply to vehicles imported from the United States, provided they meet specific conditions. Vehicles that qualify for the United States tariff rate can be imported duty-free. Excise tax and GST/HST will apply.
"If you have acquired a vehicle from the United States, you can determine if the vehicle can be imported by contacting:
"Registrar of Imported Vehicles
405 The West Mall
Toronto ON M9C 5K7
"Telephone: 1-888-848-8240 (toll free in Canada, the United States and Mexico)

When I ordered my C6 I needed to have things put on it to meet California unique requirements. Clearly things have to be added for the Canadian market as well, but so long as that is done I would think that it would be OK to pick it up and drive it home. You might want to find out if there is some hidden "middleman" that makes some money along the way that they are afraid of cutting out. If so, and if it doesn't add that much to the cost, why not just make sure those funds get paid but save them effort? It's a shame not to have the experience just because of some bureaucrat.
