Mark, While participating in the 2005 Hot Rod Power Tour, some of the cars stopped at the Vette plant. You didnt mention it, but some C6 buyers pay for the option of getting their Corvette delivered at the nearby Corvette National Museum.
Congrats on the purchase and delivery of your new baby.

Chuck, on the Museum Display you have to pick-up your VETTE and it would be another week and then I would have to go back and get it--I was alittle worried about trailering it home (never know how the weather might be) Plus you still have to pay for the shipping from Chevrolet ($800.00). The Museum Vettes really were nice on Display and some of the owners were there picking them up.
Guys, you can't BELIEVE how NICE the Assembly Workers were to my SON & I -- REALLY they were THANKING us for Buying the Vette. When our Vette met the Chassis & Drivetrain and everything was hooked up, the Test Worker ran over and got me so I could be the first person to start it. When I drove it off the assembly line the man said "Look at the Odometer which said 0 -- you will never see that again!!"
Great Experience and we felt SPECIAL.

The museum delivery package is cool ? Do they affix a plaque in the door jamb area with your name on it?

Mark,

I gotta wonder if they will let us watch the new Camaro being built in the same way.... You know BG might not be a bad place to produce a new RWD car like the '09 Camaro.

Nice.

Phil, I was talking to a lady that Water Tested my VETTE and she was transfered from Norwood Camaro Plant and she said there was a Very Good Chance that the Camaro would be built at Bowling Green. She hoped it wouldn't because she said they would be too crowded with the XLR/VETTE/Camaro.

Chuck, I kind of wish I would have got the "MUSEUM DELIVERY" it's too late now

-- I was just worried about trailering it home if the weather was bad.

Mark,

You got an '84 C-4 too and a tour on the build of that car right? How did the two tours compare? How much changed?
