Expansion Groundbreaking Planned as Part of the Corvette Museum’s C5/C6 Bash on April 26, 2008

Bowling Green, KY – The National Corvette Museum’s annual C5/C6 Bash scheduled for April 24-26, 2008 will host a ground breaking ceremony in recognition of the Museum’s 47,000 square-foot expansion scheduled for completion in 2009. The expansion will enhance the Museum’s existing services offering a more “hands-on” experience to visitors and includes a Library and Archives, Corvette Hall of Fame, Conference Center and Café, as well as providing additional space to the Corvette Store, Museum Delivery area, restrooms and storage.

Thanks to the generous contributions of individuals, members, clubs and business partners, we have already raised $2.7 million in pledges and donations towards the necessary $10 Million for the building addition and renovation. Celebrate, educate, and preserve Corvette's heritage and the future of the National Corvette Museum with a tax deductible gift made online at www.corvettemuseum.com or by contacting Connie Russell at (800) 53-VETTE ext 115.

“We feel that the C5/C6 Bash event is the perfect setting for our ground breaking ceremony, as it continues to be an event full of surprises and excitement,” states NCM Executive Director, Wendell Strode. “The Bash event is traditional in offering unique activities and specials unveilings, and the 2008 Bash will be a great time to break ground for the expansion and showcase what the future holds for the Museum, our members and the 140,000 plus visitors that come each year.”
