Default I just ordered a new C7 with the Museum delivery option

I just ordered a new C7. It will be a 2016 hopefully with Museum delivery in August. Anyone know when they will cut 2015 production and start 2016? Also anyone have comments good or bad on recent Museum deliveries?

Museum delivery was a great experience. Took my 13 year old son along. 480 mile trip home almost got me through the break in period.

Have fun!

I have a 2016 with Museum delivery on order with a TPW of 6/22/15. This will be my first experience with it, but I have only heard glowing results from anyone that has experienced it before. My wife & I are really looking forward to the whole process.

Congrats! I am envious! It's on my list to do that in a couple of years once I take care of a few other things.

nothing but good things to say about museum delivery. I will recommend to anyone to get that experience at least once. My son and I had a great time, nice 4 day trip home thru 7 states. Cant buy memories like that.

I also am getting a 2016 Museum Delivery with a TPW of 06/22. This will be my first Corvette and I am really excited. I was told that there is a 2 week hold after production so I am planning on a delivery day around July 16th.

I had museum delivery on my 2015 DSOM vert. It was a great experience. I took my dad, and a buddy of mine since high school that has had a lot of corvettes. It was really a great memory for my dad and I. He still asks how his car is doing when I call him . You will enjoy yourself. It is well worth the extra cost!

Museum Delivery
You will love NCM delivery experience. My only advice is counterintuitive in a way since you will want to drive your car. Plan on spending as much of the day as you possibly can at the Museum. The special factory tour and guided tour of the Museum are very special experiences, so don't rush them to get to the car. You will spend hundreds of hours in your car, your NCM experience is just that one day. My wife and I left at about 3 pm and I wish I would have stayed another 60-90 minutes.

You will LOVE this car!

You need to find a dealer to do your 500 mile oil change along the way. If your headed West and going thru Little Rock go to BALE Chevrolet. GREAT people to deal with. Wherever you do take it, remember MOBIL 1 ONLY and 9.3 quarts and NOT TEN QUARTS. This is a BIG deal. NOT TEN QUARTS! Enjoy and be sure and post some pics when you get it!

The capacity list on my Z06 says 9.8? Is the 9.3 for the LT1?
