We Visited the 2019 NCM Bash

The 2019 NCM Bash Has the Usual Fare – and a Few Surprises!

Saturday, April 27, 2019 – As we do every year, we got up early Saturday morning, jumped in the Corvette and drove an hour north out of Nashville to the National Corvette Museum in Bowling Green, Kentucky.

While we make this trek up to the NCM several times a year, the last week of April is a special circumstance – one which holds the promise of “things to come” for Corvette owners and enthusiasts around the world.  Just as the fictional “Willy Wonka” opens his chocolate factory to reveal the delectable secrets contained within, so too does the team behind the Corvette open the doors to the world to share their latest – and greatest – developments from Detroit and (closer to home) the Bowling Green Assembly Plant located just across the street from the Museum.  It’s called “the Bash” and with good reason – it’s the NCM‘s “Corvette Party of the Year!”
