Default First Museum deliveries start FRIDAY

Correction: First Museum displays start FRIDAY, deliveries TBA



"Shipping of the 2020 Stingray Corvettes officially started on Wednesday, March 4 with the National Corvette Museum receiving two truckloads, 12 Corvettes total, on Thursday afternoon. Of those cars were the VIN 25 Corvette that was raffled at the Museum's 25th Anniversary Celebration last August, and one of seven Corvettes ordered for guests to drive on track at the NCM Motorsports Park. The customer cars will begin the PDI process on Friday, with cars going on display on Corvette Boulevard Friday, too! The hues of the cars included Torch Red, Arctic White and Sebring Orange. In the batch are cars for NCM Board Chair Glenn Johnson, NCM Ambassador Jeremy Welborn, YouTuber Clarence Garner, 1953 Corvette Owner (who ordered a matching VIN) David D'Onofrio and many other past customers! Delivered VINs include 25, 29, 30, 42, 50, 66, 93, 148, 167, 239, 247 and 369."

How do you keep the general public from touching customer cars on display?

I can't speak for 2020 but in 2017 there was a lot of touching going on. Depends a lot on what crowd is touring.

When I went in to get mine there was a rope around the car and several "Do not Touch!" signs. I sauntered over and pretended to just look at the (MINE! MINE! MINE!) car with my hands in my pockets. There was a museum employee standing around close to the car actually waiting for me. I turned around, looked at him soberly, and gave him a nod. He nodded back. Then I took my palm, reached out, and laid it on the trunk while looking at him with no smile. He looked back at me in disbelief, turned around, and said, "I really hope you are Michael Schuyler!" It was very funny. Sorry, John. I did it on purpose..

They put Stanchion up around them to keep people form doing that. At least that's what did when I had my 1964 Museum Costumed Delivered. Yes they do that too.
