Plant tours are resuming<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
During the opening of the National Corvette Museum\u2019s 28th Annual Anniversary Celebration, Corvette Assembly Plant Director Kai Spande gave us the news that we have been waiting too long to hear: Plant tours are resuming!<\/p>\n
Tours go on sale to the public on Tuesday, November 1, 2022. National Corvette Museum members qualify for early booking access, beginning on Tuesday, October 25, 2022. Tour schedule will take place at the time of purchase with public tours expected to resume before the end of the year.<\/p>\n
Kai mentioned that if you participated in an R8C Museum Delivery when plant tours were closed, you will receive a complimentary make-up tour. As Kai said, \u201cWe owe you one!\u201d When asked about the new R8C participant\u2019s ability to walk the Corvette assembly line and watch their Corvette get built, Kai relayed that those details are not yet determined.<\/p>\n
If you are lucky enough to be able to order a Z06, the Build Your Own Engine program for the LT6 starts in the 2nd Quarter of 2023. He says that will be a bit different this time. Participants will stay at one location, and the parts to build the engine will be brought directly to them.<\/p>\n
Individuals must be ages 13 and up to participate in a plant tour. Bags, cameras, and open-toe shoes are not permitted inside the building.<\/p>\n

In 1981 I realized my dream. It was February and a somewhat mild Alberta winter. I had looked at the Orange 76 4 speed coupe at Western Corvette and then got my friend Harry to take a second look. Neither of us knew much about Vettes other than we both wanted one. Harry gave his approval and the next day, a mild sunny day, I flew from Edmonton to Calgary to finalize the deal. It took about an hour or so to get the paperwork done and then off to Edmonton. Everything was going well, the car ran fine until about Wetaskwin where I encountered an unforecast Blizzard! \u00a0At a sweeping curve in the highway I noticed a truck in the middle of the field. Odd I thought until I realized I was on black ice. The coupes rear end was coming around to meet the front! I carefully slowed while shifting and regained control. Very carefully I drove the next 45 miles home where I made it safe and sound with my new baby.<\/p>\n That was the last light of day my new purchase saw until May!<\/p>\n It was my first of nine Corvettes and I loved them all.<\/p>\n Roy W.<\/p>\n 1969 427-435 L89<\/a> Daytona Yellow with Black Leather Interior<\/p>\n Partial tank sticker (shows Aluminum Cylinder Heads)<\/p>\n NCRS shippers doc \u00a0(Daniels Chev. \u00a0Marina DelRay, CA)<\/p>\n Protecto-O-Plate \u00a0(all correct to the car)<\/p>\n Real trim tag<\/p>\n Body off restoration, beautiful paint, no evidence of any prior damage.<\/p>\n Car runs & drives very well.
