National Corvette Museum Hits 20,000th Delivery Milestone!
It’s hard to believe it’s been 30 years since Corvette enthusiasts first had the option to pick up their brand-new cars right where they’re born — at the National Corvette Museum in Bowling Green, Kentucky.
Since the program launched in 1995, thousands of proud owners have made the pilgrimage to take delivery of their dream car on sacred Corvette ground. Now, in 2025, the museum has officially celebrated its 20,000th Corvette delivery! Over the decades, the museum has delivered cars to owners from all 50 states, and even around the globe.
Known as RPO code R8C, the Museum Delivery Program began with the 1996 Corvette lineup. For $1,495, it includes a guided museum tour, a personalized wall plaque, photo session in front of the museum, a commemorative interior plaque, and even a membership to the NCM. It’s a small price to pay for an unforgettable experience — and a chance to drive your new Corvette straight off the assembly line!
Of course, you’ll need to handle your own travel and transportation home, but let’s be honest, what could be better than breaking in your new Corvette on a cross-country road trip?

Brent D’s 1955 Gullwing
I bought this 1955 Gullwing from Corvette Mike 20 years ago and it’s still in the exact same perfect condition that it was back then. Over the years it was my goal to include all the most famous and collectible sports car Marques in my collection that the world had to offer.
I’m proud to say that collecting these cars isn’t just about the acquisition but about the friendships I’ve made along the way.

This Week’s Specials
1999 Prowler Convertible
6,753 Miles, Yellow Stunner!
Striking ’99 Prowler in bold Prowler Yellow is a rare gem
A blast from the past, and a bold leap into the future. The Plymouth Prowler was one of the most daring and imaginative designs ever to roll out of Detroit. A modern-day hot rod built with all the drama of the 1930s roadsters but infused with 21st-century engineering, it proved that Chrysler wasn’t afraid to dream big.
Key Features & Highlights
This Prowler Yellow beauty is one of the finest surviving examples of its kind, showing just 6,753 original miles and presenting in stunning condition throughout. The bold yellow finish gleams against the black leather interior, while the car’s polished aluminum wheels and exposed front suspension scream attitude from every angle.
Power comes from Chrysler’s 3.5-liter high-output V6, paired with a smooth 4-speed automatic with AutoStick, sending power to the rear wheels for an engaging and surprisingly agile drive. Unlike many garage queens, this one has been lovingly preserved, sparingly driven, and meticulously maintained, keeping its originality intact from top to bottom.
