At the National Corvette Museum, we often say that passion powers everything we do. That spirit was on full display earlier this year when the Wichita County Corvette Association (WCCA) shifted into high gear—officially becoming a Lifetime Club Member of the Museum.
After careful discussion during their early 2025 meetings, WCCA’s members voted unanimously to upgrade their Museum membership to Lifetime status. That kind of unity and dedication to America’s Sports Car speaks volumes. With a $3,000 contribution—funded through club treasury resources and generous individual donations—WCCA made a powerful statement: their bond with the Corvette legacy is permanent.
In addition to the Lifetime Membership contribution, WCCA also made a separate donation to the Museum from the proceeds of a silent auction featuring a truly one-of-a-kind item: a Corvette hat autographed by Zora Arkus-Duntov, Elfi Duntov, and Larry Shinoda. It’s another example of how Corvette history and passion continue to inspire generosity in this remarkable community.
This milestone reflects the values at the heart of both the WCCA and the National Corvette Museum. More than a car, the Corvette is a community—built by those who celebrate its history, drive its performance, and champion its future. Lifetime Club Membership is more than a title. It’s an investment in preserving that legacy and fueling innovation for generations to come.
As part of their Lifetime Club Membership, WCCA will receive annual Museum passes and exclusive benefits that further connect their members to everything Bowling Green has to offer—from the iconic Sky Dome to the cutting-edge McMichael Family Education Gallery. And with WCCA’s own President, Chad Brownlow, serving as their National Corvette Museum Ambassador, the connection between the club and the Museum will only grow stronger.
From their ongoing events like Summer’s Last Blast to their active presence across Texas and beyond, the Wichita County Corvette Association is proof that Corvette passion thrives in every corner of the country.
On behalf of the entire team here at the National Corvette Museum: welcome, WCCA, and thank you for helping us preserve the legacy of America’s Sports Car.
