New Changes to the Engineering Exhibit Area

As part of the C5/C6 Birthday Bash, new changes that have been recently made to the Engineering exhibit area of the Museum were unveiled and presented. NCM Facilities Manager, Bob Hellmann along with the help and support of Ken Brown and Rodney Jurben – GM Engineering/Design staff members, created the display area that gives guests an educational in-depth look at the new C6 and its design. Cutaways of the interior, convertible top, console and head lamp, and a demonstration video and display of the magnetic ride feature bring to life the newly renovated area. More information on the newly designed Engineering area will be available in the upcoming issue of our Member Magazine – America’s Sports Car, or visit our online event coverage at:

Historic Flint Brick’s Offered as “Show Giveaways”

Thanks to Chevrolet Dealers like Tom Hendricks of Buds Chevrolet, our Historic Flint Brick fundraiser is getting an extra boost. Tom is offering the Flint bricks as special show giveaways for folks attending “Buds Corvette Cruise-In” on May 8 and entering a special drawing. A Flint brick sample will be on display along with brochures promoting the program. We greatly appreciate their support and would like to take this time to offer a sample brick and flyers to any other dealers or clubs hosting shows in the coming months. Please contact Connie Russell at connie@corvettemuseum.com to find out more or call us at: (800) 53-VETTE.
