Good choice! We'll watch your MD on the Corvette Blvd Cam! Good luck.

Can't say I blame the museum for closing the doors. No sense in letting the staff get exposed to the virus and this will help keep the general public safe. At least they will deliver the cars they have, so those new owners will get to enjoy their cars soon.

I have been watching on the museum cameras some of these deliveries. In these awful times, it’s nice to see some people doing something pleasant and fun. It gives one hope for the future.

Congratulations to you new owners!

Saw ours come out on the boulevard just as we were approaching exit 28 on I-65 so decided to head to NCM instead of the hotel just to see if we could get in. Couldn’t. Doors locked. But could see it through the door in delivery 8! So excited for 10a tomorrow.

Of course, if you just happened to be near the NCM front door & called Shane at *(270) 777-4505‬, I'll bet he'd allow a quick peak. Just Saying................

I’m sure, but no need to pester the staff that is hard at work performing PDI for other’s cars. I’ve waited a year for this day... I can wait one more night. I was happy just to see it through the doors. The stop by the museum was really more to kill time. My daughters got to do flip flops down the Circle in back. Better than going to the hotel and watching them pick on each other there!!
