Give your Corvette away to History

Have you ever been inside a car museum?

I’ve always wondered how auto museums acquire their display pieces. No owner, in the right mind, would give his precious vehicle away for charity. Unless you’re a celebrity of some sort or a very rich man in general, it would take a lot of green backs to get you to giveaway a classic/vintage car.

Recently, the National Corvette Museum (NCM) released a newsletter that invites Corvette owners (1954, 1955 models) to display their vehicles at their Museum. If you are a member of the NCM and you own a stock-appearing Corvette, then this is definitely something to consider. Many incentives await those who are willing such as certifications and, of course, the prestige. The NCM will only borrow the car for a predetermined amount of time. So don’t fret, your Corvette is only going for a one night stand and not leaving you for the arms of another man.

NCM has posted its loan agreement, guidelines, display information and exhibit application along with the Kentucky statutes applicable to loaning items to museums. All the necessary details are furnished in the National Corvette Museum website.
