Welcome to the Florida Caravan

All are welcome to join the Florida 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. We will begin our journey to Bowling Green by starting in Orlando/Daytona.

Please check back for updates and new information. All of us, first-timers and veterans, are looking forward to making memories to last a lifetime!

Are you interested in helping lead the Florida caravan?

The Museum is looking for a leader to guide the Florida caravan from Tallassee to Talladega where Captains, Ken Turner and Doug Jenkins from Southeast Caravan will take over and lead the group to Bowling Green.

If you are interested in helping lead the Florida Caravan, please contact Frank Sancineto at (919)604-6978 or email Frank at, [email protected]
