​ <tbody> </tbody> <tbody> </tbody> 2017 Corvette Hall of Fame Announced ​ <tbody> </tbody> The National Corvette Museum has announced the following inductees to be recognized as part of the 20th Annual Corvette Hall of Fame Ceremony in 2017: Peter Brock in the category of Enthusiast; Jim Minneker in the category of GM/Chevrolet; and Tommy Morrison in the category of Racing. These three individuals will be recognized with the highest honor bestowed by the Museum for their contributions to the past, present and future of Corvette. At just 19 years old, Peter Brock was one of the youngest designers to ever be invited to work at GM Design. As an enthusiast, Brock has done just about everything relating to motorsports. He has designed and raced cars, written books and articles, and even became a photojournalist capturing one of the greatest eras of motor-racing history. Jim Minneker is a great example of the way Chevrolet infuses racing DNA into the Corvette. As both a racer and an engineer, he brought to the table an understanding of what makes power, and what it takes to control that power on a track. When the National Corvette Museum was just beginning, he was instrumental, helping out early on in arranging for displays relating to powertrain and engineering. Tommy Morrison's Corvette race cars began dominating in showroom stock racing and making Corvette history along the way. At the 1990 24-Hour Speed Endurance World Record Run, he and his team took a stock ZR-1 Corvette and drove it 24 hours straight, averaging 175.885 miles per hour. The 2017 Corvette Hall of Fame recipients will be inducted into the Corvette Hall of Fame during a ceremony and banquet on Friday, September 1, 2017. Their induction will take place as part of the Museum’s 23rd Anniversary Celebration August 31 – September 2, 2017 . ​ <tbody> </tbody> <tbody> </tbody> <tbody> </tbody> <tbody> </tbody> <tbody> </tbody> Read their bios here. →​ ​ <tbody> </tbody> <tbody> </tbody> <tbody> </tbody> <tbody> </tbody> <tbody> </tbody> <tbody> </tbody> Complete Survey - Win Michelin Swag ​ <tbody> </tbody> Michelin, a sponsor and supporter of the National Corvette Museum and NCM Motorsports Park, has created a survey especially for our fans - and three of your who complete the survey (and mark that you'd be willing to be contacted by them) will win some Michelin swag.

If you are fascinated by what’s under the hood and can’t wait to see the next model year's new features, colors and options – then this is the event for you. GM pulls out all the stops, sending many members of their design and engineering team from Michigan along with team members from GM Corvette Assembly for a bit of ‘show and tell,’ bringing you all the news first hand. This year we will have seminars on using your seventh-generation navigation system, tires and brakes, hand building the LT4 engine, what’s new at the BG Assembly Plant, Corvette Racing, Transmissions and more. Thursday evening we have planned a special Corvette Racing Recognition Dinner to celebrate Doug Fehan, Gary Pratt and Jim Miller while Saturday evening will be the Dynamic Duo of Comedy Magic with a plated dinner. Road tours, a Ladies’ Oasis and more round out the event. Registration is now open so please check out the complete agenda on our website. We hope to see you there April 27-29, 2017! ​ <tbody> </tbody> View the complete itinerary and register here →​ ​ <tbody> </tbody> <tbody> </tbody> <tbody> </tbody> <tbody> </tbody> <tbody> </tbody> Seeking Corvettes for Display in Turntable ​ <tbody> </tbody> Perhaps the most coveted spot in the Museum in terms of displaying a Corvette is the glass turntable in our lobby, and we have slightly tweaked our program to be considered for display. The turntable currently showcases a Corvette, but also serves as a way to promote a Corvette Club. Clubs can apply to be featured in the turntable but must have at least two cars for consideration to display for 3-4 months. If you are interested in displaying your car, you must be a member of the National Corvette Museum. Please let your Corvette Club Ambassador know that you'd like to display your car, and Ambassadors may submit their Club for consideration to Stephanie Morrill. ​ <tbody> </tbody> Learn About Displaying Your Car Here → ​ <tbody> </tbody> <tbody> </tbody> Christmas Shipping Deadlines ​ For Delivery by Friday, December 23, 2016 orders must be placed by: · UPS 3nd Day Select Shipping: Monday, December 19, 2016 ·UPS 2nd Day Air Shipping: Wednesday, December 21, 2016 ·UPS Next Day Air Shipping: Thursday, December 22, 2016 Orders must be placed by 12:00 Noon Central Time.
