Default Museum Delivery - Elkhart Lake Blue

My new Corvette build starts tomorrow morning and I pick up my new 2LT Elkhart Lake Blue Corvette Stingray (Manual Transmission) with performance exhaust on April 5th! I opted for the Museum Delivery because this is my 50th birthday present and figured I was going to go with the full blown experience. Anyone who has done the Museum Delivery have any pointers of the area? Things we should do? Or see? I can't wait to put this beautiful baby in the garage next to my C3. Anyone else who has the new Elkhart Lake Blue could you post pictures please?

Guess I forgot to introduce myself when I joined last week but glad I joined as you all have given me some great info. Anyway, bought a beautiful 2015 Corvette Stingray Convertible last Saturday. I'll see if I can post a couple of pictures of it here. I'm Jim Heffernan in Bonita springs, FL. Love the car but taking time to learn all about it.

Congratulations Corvettegirl, that's one great birthday present. Welcome to the forum. I've never the Museum delivery, but I never heard from anyone that didn't love the experience.

I'd take the Museum tour if that isn't included in your package. I think the plant is shut down-if not that'd be fun to see. If you have time on your way back to Tampa detour to Lynchburg TN to see the Jack Daniels tour.

We're glad we waited last year for this color! Picked it off the lot at Kerbeck in November and have 2000 miles on her already. Just can't wait for nicer weather to REALLY put on some miles!!

Mammoth Cave might be of interest to you. It's a short drive from the museum. If you choose to go, make sure you take the long tour.

By all means! We did Mammoth Caves during our 2014 Caravan.

It's definitely a DON'T MISS
