Welcome to the Arizona & New Mexico Caravan
Maybe you are new to the Corvette world, or maybe you do not know of the 2024 Caravan, so what is the 2024 Caravan? It is a gathering of Corvette enthusiasts from around the United States, Canada, and several other countries. We form caravans of Corvettes from locations around the country to make a great road trip to Bowling Green, Kentucky. This will be an event beginning in late August that will celebrate the 30th Anniversary of the National Corvette Museum on Labor Day weekend 2024. Caravans will form from locations close to your home for this event so you can participate with thousands of other Corvette owners. Participants can join at various locations along the way.
We are excited that you are visiting the Arizona and New Mexico National Corvette Museum web page.
We have planned an exciting and memorable Caravan to the National Corvette Museum 30th Anniversary Celebration. We will caravan along scenic sections of Arizona, and New Mexico highways, and stretches of old Route 66.
What could be better than traveling along the beautiful mountain roads in your Corvette?
Meet the Team
Captain Holt Davis is the Arizona & New Mexico Captain for the 2024 Caravan. I live in Southeastern New Mexico, and I am a member of The Lone Star Corvette Club located in Dallas – Ft. Worth, TX., and the Border States Corvette Club located in Hobbs, NM. I retired after working as an automation engineer, PLC programmer, and SCADA administrator in the petroleum industry. I am an Air Force Vietnam veteran…spent time at Nellis AFB in Las Vegas…it was tough, but someone needed to do it. I participated in the 2009 15th Anniversary Caravan. I was captain for the 2014 20th and the 2019 25th AZ-NM Caravans. I fell in love with the ’63 Corvette Stingray fastback the first time I saw one and dreamed of owning one. Well, that did not happen, but I have owned 14 Corvettes through the years including my current ’67 Roadster. My ’71 was displayed on the turntable at the front of the NCM.

Flexible Schedule
We are planning for your enjoyment and have completed several trial runs along this route. We encourage you to research sites along the way. Plan scenic stops that you, your friends, or your club will like. You do not need to run “nose to tail” since we have relaxed schedules with plenty of Caravan reform locations along the way.
Arizona & New Mexico Itinerary
We will Begin in Phoenix with an afternoon departure Thursday August 22rd with a meet and greet in Phoenix. Our route will be different from previous AZ -NM Caravans with a northern route rather than the common drive along I-40. We will have more scenic drives and different events. We will join with the Oklahoma Caravan for our final caravan into Bowling Green. Imagine the sight of hundreds of Corvettes in these combined Caravans traveling to the National Corvette Museum in Bowling Green!
I drove our caravan route to Bowling Green. What a great scenic trip! I believe that all participants will find our “Northern” Caravan to be fun and interesting…We will enjoy a lot of scenic roads instead of just the Interstate highways. Please bring your FRS or GMRS radios for communication during our caravan.
Sponsors
This is a special event where you can present your products and services to many Caravan participants. We will place advertisements in our electronic Route Book and printed Route Book and on this AZ-NM Caravan page.. Please contact Captain Holt Davis, [email protected] for details.
