OVER 500 NEW CORVETTE OWNERS SHARE THE EXPERIENCE

To date, 512 Corvettes of the 2003 model year have been delivered at the Museum. Museum delivery is more than a destination to pick up your new Corvette - It's an Experience! VIP Tours of the Museum and Corvette Assembly Plant, hands on demonstration, complimentary membership to the Museum and so much more are just a part of what makes the experience so exciting. Ask someone who has taken delivery at the Museum and you will see why. Museum deliveries are viewed world wide via the Museum's webcams available at:

2003 ANNUAL GIVING CAMPAIGN INITIATED

The 2003 Annual Giving Campaign has begun and many of our friends and supporters will soon be receiving information on our goals and plans for the upcoming year. Some of the projects to be implemented with campaign funds are planned as long-term projects, and some are important to do this year to enhance the appearance of the Museum. Some of the campaign projects include remodeling and expanding the Corvette Store, new carpet in the Design Area, Corvette Store, Atrium and Lobby. "Many goals and dreams were achieved in 2002 thanks to the generosity of our members and supporters," states Executive Director, Wendell Strode. "We begin a new year of milestones and improvements in many areas and appreciate the opportunity to share our dreams and challenges with our Corvette family."

500 PACE CAR TICKETS SOLD - NEXT RAFFLE IS SOLID GOLD

Tickets on the 2003 Pace Car raffle are sold out - but your next chance to win is underway now! On June 29, 2003 as part of Corvette's 50th Anniversary Celebration at the Museum, a lucky winner will be drawn on the one-of-a-kind "Going for the Gold" Corvette. Only 2003 tickets will be sold and tickets are available at $200 each. The unique Gold Corvette was designed and created in conjunction with the J.D. Power Gold Award which is awarded to the best automotive assembly plant in North America. Created and designed by Bowling Green's very own Corvette Plant, the unique Corvette is autographed on the inside structure by the many men and women who proudly build Corvettes each day.

Between the first of the year and the time this car is raffled, many GM Corvette Plant employees will have an opportunity to test drive this car in conjunction with reward and incentive programs for the JD Power Gold Award. Prior to the drawing, the car will return to the Corvette Assembly Line and be completely refurbished.
