If you could get an $850 discount by taking delivery at the NCM, the shipping company would lose a lot of money. There will never be a museum or delivery option for the Camaro. Very few customers are in Canada or willing to go to Canada to pick up their car. |

When we ordered our 1999 Corvette, we elected to purchase the museum delivery option. We had bought a lot of previously owned Corvettes up to that time but figured that we would most likely only buy one new Corvette and decided to make the most of it. It gave a guided personal tour of the Corvette Museum and also a personal guided tour of the Corvette Plant. My wife got to start one of the Vettes coming off the assembly line (not ours) and made for a lot of nice pictures and memories. We drove it through the Blue Ridge mountains and we took our time driving back to Florida. I am glad that we did it, but most likely would not do it again. My Z28 will be delivered to the west coast of Florida about 4 hours away and that will still make for a nice ride back home.

I used to be Dragoneye...

I really would LOVE to have an option to do something like this.
GM's hosting an "open house" at all their plants across the nation for people to come in and learn something about the company/people/products. So I don't think that "never" will hold up...it seems they're slowly breaking down all those barriers and coming around. Being there while my car was built...talking to the people who put it together...driving it home...would DEFINITELY be worth it.....if the price is right. Having thought about it a little more, I still think $1500 would be way too much. Especially considering the cost of a plane ticket/driving/passport that somebody brought up. Hadn't thought of that... Quote:

After seeing Bowling Green, and how it's set up for a customer experience, and seeing Oshawa, a plant build to build cars, the only thing that could make this work is if they built a whole new building or facility.
They're not going to let an outsider step foot in there.....Hell, I was in the security sniper scope for just being on the sidewalk across the street with a camcorder in my hand! What you MAY get is more "company" involvement in an annual event NEAR the facility, like the annual August BBOMG. It was impressive to see how many employee's (factory and High ranking management types) that came out to talk and meet with each of the event attendee's. It was one of the coolest things I've ever seen - |

That's why I said in OSHAWA, at the plant. More and more people are making the annual migration to the plant. The City embraces it, local business's embrace it, why wouldn't the factory? |

To draw a parallel to the Corvette delivery program, you do not take delivery of your Corvette at the factory. You simply take a tour of the plant, but your car is delivered to the museum. |

I'm not referring to "taking delivery"... I refer to the opportunity to go to the plant to meet the makers of your car - many of the employee's....something not equalled - not even at the Corvette plant.
It's an annual migration. It's happened twice, it will happen again. And it's growing every year. |
