Limited Time Offer - V.I.P. Tour Discount

For the first time ever the Corvette Museum is offering a discount on V.I.P. Corvette Plant and Museum tours! Guests who book and use their tour by July 15 will save $50 off the regular price.

"The plant is open more than ever this summer, and with the model changeover we felt it was a great time to promote this true 'behind the scenes' tour." The 3-5 hour tour includes the GM Corvette Assembly Plant and The National Corvette Museum. Tours are more in-depth and include portions not included in the regular tours.

Regular price of tours is $250 and includes up to four people in a group. Special pricing now until July 15 is $200. Additional persons are $50 each. Tour must be used by July 15. Mention this special offer when booking. More information is online here. You may also contact Gary corkriel or Lori Bieschke at 800-205-4248 or by email gary@corvettemuseum.org or lori@corvettemuseum.org.

Drive Your Corvette to Work Day

June 25 is the 10th Annual Drive Your Corvette to Work Day sponsored by Mid America Motorworks. This day celebrates the Corvette's birthday, June 30, 1953.

USA Today is helping celebrate the occasion with a special Corvette photo gallery on USATODAY.com. Enthusiasts can send in a photo of their Corvette in a unique or interesting setting, and the best will be included. Send your name, hometown, model year and a blurb about the setting to mtrott@usatoday.com. Photos will run online the week of July 5.

An added bonus from us at the Museum - submit a photo of your Corvette here at NCM (whether it is in front of the building, a delivery, on display, etc.) and include the NCM in your blurb, and if your photo is included in their gallery - we will award you a basket of Corvette merchandise!

20th Anniversary ZR-1 Party Attendees Support the Troops

This year's C4/ZR-1 Gathering was one of the biggest ever, and while the BBQ at Jim Van Dorn's was a time for celebration - it was also a way to give back and recognize the troops serving overseas.

Party attendees helped to raise money for a "war chest" filled with goodies to be sent to the 1st Platoon, 101st Airborne Air Assault Division, US Army in Afghanistan. So much was raised, in fact, that 20 flat rate APO boxes were shipped this week!

Thanks to everyone who came out to the event and helped to support this worthy project!
