Welcome to the 2024 Atlantic Corvette Caravan

Registration is OPEN!

For Atlantic Registration questions, please refer to the ATLANTIC Registration Instructions AND the ATLANTIC Registration Form. You can also find general Caravan FAQs on the Caravan homepage.

Officially the Atlantic Corvette Caravan consists of Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware and the New York City area, but we are much more than that. All are welcome to join the Atlantic Caravan, no matter where you call home, no matter if you belong to a Club or not, and regardless of your National Corvette Museum membership status. NCM membership is encouraged, but it is not a requirement for the event. This is NOT a local Club hosting this event, you do not need to be in a Club to participate, all are welcome, as this is the local contingent of the larger National event.What makes this group unique is that we begin our journey to Bowling Green by starting at the world’s largest Corvette Show, Corvettes at Carlisle. As such we have owners from all over the world join this Caravan since they are in Carlisle ahead of our departure. So, it does not matter if you are new to the Corvette hobby or if you are returning for another Caravan journey. All of us, first-timers and veterans, are looking forward to making memories to last a lifetime!

The Atlantic Corvette Caravan has its roots all the way back to the first Corvette Caravan in 1994, and three of the National Chairmen for the event are from this region. We have a strong history with the Caravan and that will continue to 2024, the 7th National Corvette Caravan.

Meet the Team

Jeffrey “Zipity” Duda, along with Phyllis & Noelle Duda
Atlantic Captains

Jeff & Phyllis attended their first National Corvette Caravan in 2003 to celebrate the 50th Model Year of the Corvette and the rest they say is history. From there Jeff went onto become the 2009 Co-Captain for the Atlantic (New Jersey was the name in 2009) and yet again the Captain for the 2014 Atlantic Caravan. For the 2019 National Corvette Caravan, Jeff was asked by the Museum to lead the event for the entire Country. Jeff was named the 2019 National Chairman for Corvette Caravan and worked with Captains from across the Country to coordinate the event.

So, for 2024, Jeff is BACK! Working on the local level to lead the Corvette owners to Bowling Green in style and making more memories along the way. Jeff, Phyllis and Noelle are all Lifetime Members of the National Corvette Museum and reside in Hainesport, NJ. They are active members of The Original Garden State Corvette Club. Original Owner of 2004 Le Mans Blue Commemorative Edition ZO6 and 2019 Shadow Gray Coupe.

Bill & Cindy Fessler
New Jersey Local Leaders

Bill and Cindy seen here with their 2017 Corvette Racing Yellow Grand Sport. Bill was on the 2019 Atlantic Caravan and even though Cindy wasn’t able to make that trip Bill made sure he shared his experience with Cindy along the way. With the 2024 trip approaching they both decided to get involved with this event and make it a memorable trip not only for themselves but also for everyone else on the trip. They are both members of the Original Garden State Corvette Club and have been actively involved with the club since 2017 doing what they can to help at shows and other events. Bill has always had a passion for cars and especially the Corvette owning a C4 when he was younger and now the C7. Having a love for cars and Corvettes is something that he shares with his father who owned a 1958 Corvette and has always regretted getting rid of that. Bill & Cindy are proud Corvette Museum members and reside in Sewell, NJ.
