from around the world. At the beginning
3:16
of every year, I always like to check in
3:18
with our friends at the National
3:19
Corvette Museum to see what's on tap for
3:22
the upcoming year. Well, today I have
3:24
marketing manager for the NCM, Mariah
3:26
Hughes, with me. We're going to talk
3:28
more about everything coming up this
3:29
year in 2024. Mariah, welcome to
3:32
Corvette Today. Thank you so much,
3:34
Steve, for having me. I'm happy to be
3:36
here.
3:37
Mariah, first off, let's talk about some
3:39
of the exhibits that are currently on
3:41
display at the National Corvette Museum,
3:44
even though we're into January of 2024.
3:46
What can people see if they stop in
3:48
today or tomorrow?
3:49
Well, you can see anytime that you stop
3:51
in to the National Corvette Museum, an
3:53
American love affair, 70 years of
3:55
Corvette, in our iconic skydome. And if
3:58
you haven't been to the museum in a
4:00
while, the sky dome is going to look a
4:01
little different on the inside because
4:03
we have installed a 8 and 1/2 ft tall
4:06
300 foot long LED wall that we call
4:11
skywall into the sky dome so that you
4:13
can get an immersive experience on the
4:15
70 years of Corvette history.
4:17
That is so cool. And we're going to talk
4:18
a little bit more about the Skywall here
4:20
in a minute.
4:21
Yes.
4:21
But let's review the hours of operation
4:24
there at the National Corvette Museum.
4:26
Well, of course, we have seasonal hours
4:28
of operation, but for the listeners who
4:29
are hearing this in the winter of 2024
4:33
from January 1 through February the
4:35
29th, because this year is a leap year,
4:37
we're open Monday through Friday from 5
4:40
to 10:00 p.m., but we're closed on
4:42
Tuesdays for those two months. We've got
4:44
to get the museum in shape for some new
4:46
exhibits that we have opening later this
4:48
year. And on Saturdays and Sundays,
4:49
we're open from 9:00 to 5:00. Now, all
4:51
of those times are central, so make sure
4:54
you're checking your clock or your watch
4:56
to make sure that you've arrived at the
4:57
museum at the right time.
4:58
Perfect. Now, Mariah, one of my favorite
5:00
places at the museum is the Stingray
5:02
Grill. Let's talk about the restaurant
5:04
and also tell me more about Igloo
5:06
Dining.
5:07
Yes. So, the Stingray Grill is sort of
5:10
new to the museum. It's been around for
5:12
a few years, but it's an allnew dining
5:14
experience. And in the words of Tom
5:16
Peters, he says it adds the fifth
5:18
element of taste to your overall
5:21
Corvette experience. And in the summer
5:23
of 2023, if you were watching Food
5:25
Network, you might have seen the grill
5:27
on an episode of Guy's All-American Road
5:30
Trip. The famous Scaffier came to the
5:32
Stingray Grill and of course died as
5:34
well. And when you join us, you can
5:36
actually see exactly what he ate while
5:38
he was here and what he recommends. I
5:41
think that we recommend it too,
5:42
especially our signature stingray
5:44
burger. And if you have not tried the
5:46
blackberry grilled cheese, let me tell
5:48
you, you are sorely missing out. That is
5:50
one of my favorite dishes that we have.
5:52
It's a grilled cheese with a little bit
5:55
of spice, a little bit of savory, and a
5:57
little bit of sweet.
5:58
And I love everything at the Stingray
6:00
Grill. I have not had anything at the
6:02
grill yet that I didn't like. And I like
6:04
those two recommendations. The Stingray
6:06
burger is great, and the grilled cheese
6:08
is fantastic.
6:09
Oh, good. I'm glad to hear that you've
6:11
had it. And of course, we have the
6:13
igloos available, too. You know, make a
6:15
reservation, dine outside in a climate
6:17
controlled igloo. We got to make sure
6:19
it's nice and warm in there for you
6:21
because Kentucky winters can get a
6:22
little cold. And those will be here
6:24
through Valentine's Day.
6:25
That sounds like fun. I'd love to try
6:27
that out. That would be so cool. If a
6:29
Corvette enthusiast wants to join the
6:31
National Corvette Museum, Mariah, let's
6:33
cover all the different levels of
6:34
memberships and the cost thereof. Of
6:37
course, we have several different levels
6:38
of membership for an individual yearly
6:41
at $65 or a family for a hundred a year.
6:45
We also have the senior individual which
6:47
is for those of us who are 65 and up and
6:49
that's $750 but it's eligible for 20
6:52
years. Of course, we have our next
6:54
generation member too for our youngest
6:56
of Corvette fans. We offer two different
6:58
price points for that 0 to9 and 10 to
7:01
18. And then of course we have our
7:03
lifetime membership too for those
7:05
in-depth enthusiasts to be able to join
7:07
us.
7:07
That sounds good. And I'm a lifetime
7:09
member and it's absolutely fantastic. I
7:11
love being a lifetime member of the
7:13
museum.
7:14
Well, good. I'm glad to hear that. We
7:15
can't do it without our membership and
7:17
our donors. That's for sure.
7:18
Absolutely right. Well, Mariah, let's
7:20
take our first break and when we come
7:22
back, we're going to talk about future
7:23
events coming up this year at the
7:25
National Corvette Museum. I have
7:27
marketing manager Mariah Hughes with me
7:29
here on Corvette Today. We all know that
7:32
wheels make the car. Wheelcraft's PVD
7:34

7:36
chrome will take your Corvette to new
7:38
levels, and it comes with a 5-year
7:40
warranty. Durability is a defining
7:42
feature of the Wheelcraft finish. Their
7:44
PVD chrome is superior to traditional

chrome with a finish that is brake dust
7:48
resistant and cleans effortlessly with
7:49
soap and water. Wheelcraft offers
7:51
factory wheel exchange for select C4
7:53

10:39
I'm your host, Steve Garrett. With me
10:41
today is National Corvette Museum's
10:43
marketing manager, Mariah Hughes. We're
10:45
talking about all the things going on
10:47
this year at the National Corvette
10:49
Museum. In this second segment, we're
10:50
going to talk about events coming up.
10:52
Mariah, one of my favorite events is the
10:54
NCM Michelin Bash. Talk about what's in
10:57
store for this year's Bash and when is
10:59
it this year?
11:00
Well, now we are still in the planning
11:02
phase for this year's event. So, nothing
11:05
to announce quite yet, but if you want
11:08
to be in the first to know, you can go
11:10
to the museum's website and sign up to
11:12
join our mailing list and you'll get to
11:15
know about all of the fun things that we
11:16
have planned for Bash first.
11:18
That sounds like a great idea. I mean,
11:20
I'm on the mailing list and it's so many
11:22
things that come up that I just don't
11:23
even know about. It's great to be on
11:25
that mailing list. And this is a huge
11:27
year, too, because coming up is the 25th
11:30
anniversary for the NCM Caravan and the
11:32
anniversary celebration. And that's
11:34
right before Labor Day weekend, isn't
11:36
it?
11:37
It is. But I'm going to correct you,
11:38
Steve. It's actually our 30th
11:40
anniversary of the museum in 2024. And
11:44
the caravan is coming up. Registration
11:47
for that event is open. And the event is
11:49
from August 29th through the 31st. But
11:52
you are definitely going to need to find
11:54
your local caravan captain leader if you
11:56
want to join us because you may be
11:58
leaving well before the event starts.
12:00
You can visit us online at corvette
12:02
caravan.com and select either your state
12:05
or your region to find the individual
12:07
that you'll be traveling with if you
12:09
would like to join a caravan to make
12:10
your way to Bowling Green, Kentucky.
12:12
And they don't have to actually join a
12:14
caravan to participate though, do they?
12:16
You do not have to join the caravan to
12:19
participate, but if you want to and
12:21
travel as a group and make many stops
12:23
along the way, you can definitely link
12:25
up with a local captain.
12:26
It's a lot of fun and there's hundreds
12:28
of people in each of the caravans. And I
12:30
think there's like 25 caravans that'll
12:32
be converging on Bowling Green the week
12:35
before Labor Day. So, make sure you go
12:36
to corvettecaravan.com
12:38
and get signed up for sure.
12:40
Mhm.
12:40
Mariah, let's talk about some of the
12:42
other events that are happening this
12:43
year at the National Corvette Museum. Of
12:45
course, we'll have our annual Vets and
12:47
Vets event. And like I said, if you want
12:49
to be the first to know when
12:50
registration opens and when we announce
12:53
those dates for May, you can sign up for
12:55
our events distribution list on our
12:57
website.
12:58
That sounds good. Are there any other
12:59
events besides Vets for Vets coming up
13:01
at the museum this year?
13:03
Just that this year, it's a caravan
13:04
year, so things are a little different
13:06
around here.
13:07
Gotcha. That sounds good. All right,
13:09
let's also talk about Museum in Motion.
13:11
That program is so cool and so popular.
13:14
what kind of trips are planned this year
13:16
for the Museum in Motion and tell
13:17
everybody what that is all about.
13:20
So the Museum in Motion program is a
13:22
program for Corvette owners and
13:24
enthusiasts to join together and travel
13:27
to different destinations across the
13:29
United States and internationally. So
13:32
this also gives you many VIP and behind
13:35
the scenes opportunities that only the
13:37
museum can get you. So, if you want to
13:39
travel with a group of like-minded
13:41
government individuals, we highly
13:43
recommend that you sign up for some of
13:44
our Museum in Motion programs, we've got
13:47
a great lineup for 2024. First things
13:50
first, we're headed to the 24 hours of
13:52
Daytona Rolex in Daytona, Florida. Now,
13:55
that event is sold out, but you can join
13:58
our weight list if you send an email to
14:00
the events team. Then right after that,
14:02
we've got Builtmore, which is our dragon
14:05
run presented by Michelin that takes you
14:06
through the tail of the dragon and right
14:08
to the Builtmore estate. And that leaves
14:10
right after our bash event. So you don't
14:12
even have to go home. You can just hang
14:14
with us for an extra day. And it's from
14:15
April 28th through May the 1st.
14:18
Registration is open for that program.
14:20
And then of course back by popular
14:23
demand is our LA tour from June 8th to
14:27
June 18th of 2024. And if you want to
14:30
watch Lama in person, this is the trip
14:33
to take and registration is open for
14:36
that as well. It's going to travel to
14:38
several different destinations before
14:40
ending up at the race.
14:41
I know that I've had some friends do
14:43
both of those tours where they did the
14:45
Tale of the Dragon and then did the
14:46
Builtmore Hotel right after the Bash as
14:48
you had said, but I have some friends
14:50
that did the Lama trip and you went to
14:52
England for a week and then you got into
14:54
the 24 hours of Lama. They said that was
14:56
a trip of a lifetime. Yes, it's
14:59
definitely a trip. And if you've ever
15:00
considered international travel,
15:02
especially to go to a race, this is the
15:05
one to do. Trust me,
15:07
that sounds like so much fun. Well,
15:09
Mariah, let's take our final break. When
15:11
we come back, we're going to talk more
15:12
about what's new for 2024 at the
15:14
National Corvette Museum here on
15:16

Yogi Barra once said, "If you don't know
15:34
where you're going, you'll probably end
15:36
up there." At True Wealth and Company,
15:38
we take that to heart. See, at True
15:39
Wealth and Company, we believe your
15:41
retirement lifestyle travels through two

18:27
I'm your host, Steve Garrett. With me is
18:29
the National Corvette Museum's marketing
18:31
manager, Mariah Hughes. In this final
18:33
segment, we're going to talk about
18:34
what's new for this year. Mariah, I know
18:36
you have a big list of things that are
18:38
coming up for the National Corvette
18:40
Museum this year. Let's overview all the
18:42
new exhibits, plus some of the events
18:44
that we haven't discussed yet,
18:45
of course. So, first up, opening on
18:48
March 15th to the public in our limited
18:51
engagement gallery is Luster, Realism,
18:54
and Hyper Realism in Contemporary
18:56
Automobile and motorcycle painting. So,
18:59
let me tell you, I have the chance to
19:01
see a couple of these paintings and they
19:03
are absolutely breathtaking. It's about
19:06
55 paintings overall and it features 15
19:09
of today's realist and hyperrealist
19:11
artists who specialize in automobiles
19:14
and motorcycles as their subject of
19:16
choice. And when you look at these, they
19:18
don't even look like art. They look like
19:20
you took a picture of a different
19:21
vehicle or a motorcycle that has just
19:23
rolled down the street in front of you.
19:25
They are absolutely breathtaking. And of
19:27
course in that room we're going to have
19:29
some automobiles too including a 1937
19:32
cord 812 on loan from the Auburn Cork
19:35
Duesenberg Museum in Auburn, Indiana. So
19:38
that's going to be really exciting.
19:39
That's cool. Now let's also talk about
19:42
the Corvette store there at the museum
19:44
because there's an updated website for
19:46
the store and there's a lot of things
19:47
going on there, isn't there?
19:49
Yes, of course. Our Corvettestore.com
19:51
has had a completely new shopping
19:53
experience so that we can help tailor
19:55
exactly what our customers are looking
19:57
for as it relates to Corvette
19:58
merchandise through the generations. So,
20:00
we definitely want you to check it out
20:02
there and shop all of the great items
20:04
that we have on the Corvette store. But
20:06
new for the Corvette store in 2024 is we
20:09
are also opening what we call the
20:11
vintage shop. So, if you're looking for
20:13
retro or vintage Corvette apparel, you
20:16
can stay tuned to corvettestore.com to
20:18
find out when those product drops will
20:20
be. And of course, if you're interested
20:22
in donating items for tax write off to
20:25
the vintage shop, you can visit us
20:27
online at corvette museum.org or
20:30
corvettestore.com to learn how.
20:32
That sounds like fun. And we should also
20:34
tell everybody if you're a member of the
20:36
museum, whether you're a regular member
20:37
or even a lifetime member, you get a
20:39
discount at the store, don't you?
20:41
Yes. Yes, you do. All you've got to do
20:42
is set up your profile.
20:44
There you go. Also, let's talk about the
20:46
new massive wall that you talked about
20:48
in the first segment at the museum
20:50
because it's really awesome.
20:52
Yes. So, that is our skywall. It's about
20:54
8 and 1/2 ft tall and about 300 ft long.
20:58
And if you've been in our skyome before,
21:00
you kind of know how the shape of the
21:02
room flows. Well, if you were to walk in
21:04
now, that skywall is going to make it
21:06
almost all the way around the room,
21:07
giving you an immersive experience into
21:10
Corvette's history. Now, the content
21:12
that's playing on that wall is all about
21:14
Corvette through pop culture over its
21:16
last 70 years.
21:18
That sounds cool. And that can change on
21:20
the wall, the different content all
21:21
during the year, can't it?
21:23
Correct. It'll rotate out every time
21:25
that we have a new exhibit in that
21:27
space, including later this year when we
21:30
open in October. an American love affair
21:33
pop culture in the corvette.
21:34
Oo, that sounds like fun. I'd like to
21:36
see that as well.
21:37
Yes.
21:38
Well, Mariah, finally, let's give the
21:40
museum's website and the phone number.
21:42
And did I miss anything? Did we not
21:44
cover anything?
21:45

21:48
