We are thrilled to offer the Museum Delivery program to new Corvette Owners. It is an adventure like no other and a memorable addition to your new Corvette purchase. Hundreds of enthusiasts take delivery of their new Corvette each year … Let our team be part of your new Corvette purchase.
How It All Starts: NCM Delivery is referred to as OPTION "R8C" and is available through any Chevrolet Dealer at a cost of $990.00. It must be specified at the time the order is finalized and a special Ship Code of "184590" must also be used to identify your Corvette for Museum Delivery.
The Communications: After a TARGET
PRODUCTION WEEK has been established, the National Corvette Museum
will contact the selling dealer and/or the customer and offer a
reasonable time frame in which the customer can choose a date for
delivery. This contact will normally occur approximately two weeks
prior to the TARGET PRODUCTION WEEK allowing ample time for the
customer to make travel arrangements. The Museum will confirm the
date, agreed upon by customer, in writing and will handle all further
communications. If at any time the selling dealer and/or customer
should have any questions regarding the delivery, they may contact
the Museum at 1-800-205-4248.

Former U.S. Army Vice Chief of Staff General Richard Cody went to the National Corvette Museum in February 2010 to take delivery of his 2010 Torch Red Corvette Grand Sport Convertible. Prior to picking up his vehicle the retired General toured the Corvette Plant in Bowling Green, Ky., and talked to employees. This is the 10th Corvette General Cody has owned.
