I’ll likely use Trakwrap to get my car home.I really don’t care how it looks on the road. Or I may just drive in the right lane and keep falling back as cars get in front. I’m in no hurry to get home, might even take two days to do so.

If "MM" is MacMulkin, the answer is certainly yes as I have bought my last two NCM delivered vettes from Tommy Jr.

Shane from the Museum should be sending you an email and coordinating, once your car is ready to be built (forget the code number). It all kinda happens real quick within a few weeks. Their website has it laid out pretty well: https://www.corvettemuseum.org/visit...seum-delivery/

Actually I had been considering PPF but then I realized our '89 coupe has picked up plenty of rock chips over the years and that hasn't affected its "gosh, it's fun to drive a Corvette" one bit. And, it has the added benefit that I don't freak out when I do get another rock chip.
It's a car meant to be driven, not a piece of artwork that hangs in your house.

Your dealer will. I had the dealer ship it direct to the museum. They actually laminated it and had it on the car when I arrived. I recommend emailing all of your required documents ahead of time, cuts down on the paperwork time.

Glad you are enjoying the experience. I'm hoping to do that with my C8. I do very much enjoy the museum.
At what hotel did you stay?
I have to say as a lifetime member of the museum, I would love to see a better hotel and several better restaurants around the museum. I'm not a Mickey D's kind of guy. Just a thought.

It seems I'm in the vast minority these days, but we're doing museum delivery with no PPF, ceramic coating, or track wrap. Oh, the horror!!!
