“This special ‘one off’ NCM Corvette Grand Sport coupe was created and inspired by the hard work and dedication of the people who work at the National Corvette Museum,” said Kirk Bennion, Corvette Designer. “The chosen colors of white, black, and red were based on the NCM logo.

This is why we chose the new for 2010 Corvette Grand Sport for NCM’s 15th Anniversary!”
