1973 L-48 Coupe |  Dissed by NCM!
When i visited in june they we nice enough to show me around the corporate offices...it was slow and the guy was nice to us...made us feel special in a special place...i mentioned that i had a press release kit from the grand opening...givin to the manager of motor trend magazine...and he told me that the museum was having a anniversary and would i be willing to loan it to them for display...what an honor! no problem-o , i sent it to a lady named betty and i waited to hear back....and waited and waited...now the celebration is past and i have sent e-mails and left phone messages asking for my personal things back...nothing ...no reply at all...im swiftly loosing my respect for the person or persons that have my things...is this how they would treat me if i loaned them my Corvette for display in the big yellow dome? i understand the need for loaning things for display but i havent heard from them and its a one time thing to have what i have in the pristeen condition it was in...sorry to rant, im not giving up.i want it back and i want it soon.

If they don't come through for you, Chas, I'll pull the smokiest burnout in front of their door, in June, that they've ever seen.  | |

I just had a new idea for a CruiseFest activity. We'll make up signs and picket until they come up with your stuff.

Let's make that one of the events..... multi-vehicle burn-out at the front door! We need to get Rowdy1 in on this....he'll love it... after all, he's King Burn-Out!
And the picket signs sound like a good idea too. You deserve to have your property returned to you!
Good luck!

chas,
I think we should do burnouts anyways. I'm sure that somebody will get moving to recover your stuff. If not, they will have a whole bunch of CAC members at their front door.

Sorry to hear the problem you've had with the Museum. I'm confident that Wendell will get this resolved.
I sure hope you guys are joking about doing burnouts in front of the Museum!!!
Your hurting yourselves by damaging the asphalt with burnouts. Remember the NCM is a non profit foundation, and as such, relies on contributions to keep the Museum running. The thousands of dollars ro re-surface the asphalt could be put to better use. Beech Bend Raceway is just several miles away...use that for burnouts..Thanks!
