From the March 17, 2016, L.A. Times "La Canad couple chronicle their adventures on Route 66 from aboard a new Corvette" by Sara Cardine.
The couple bought their new Corvette from the GM Corvette assembly plant in Bowling Green, Kentucky, and picked it up at the National Corvette Museum. They drove Route 66 back home to California. What a way to road test your new Corvette.
It took them two weeks to drive the 2,100 miles. I have to wonder whether they started in Chicago, but probably not.?
Cool on Cool. --RoadDog
RoadDog's RoadLog Blog: Being my travels down those great two lane highways of this nation as well as news I learn about them from media sources. Since I'm also very interested in historic preservation, there will be a lot of that as well.
The Shamrock Court Motel in Sullivan, Missouri. It can be yours for $125,000. Lots of possibilities. Actually, now you're too late. Missouri's Roamin' Rich bought it.

Driving Your Car to Places To See Other Cars-- Part 2: Corvettes
Continued From May 16th.
The National Corvette Museum in Bowling Green, Kentucky, is still an attraction even though the striking Skydome is still closed for repairs from the sinkhole until June or July.
And, GM's Bowling Green factory, the exclusive maker of Corvettes, is across the street.
There are still enough displays to see and enthusiasts to talk to to make a trip here worthwhile The new National Corvette Museum's Motorsports Park opened in April.
Add a day and check out the marvels at Mammoth Cave National Park, just 22 miles north of the museum (and sleep in a WigWam at the TeePee Motel in Cave City).
Worth a Trip. --RoadDog

Driving Your Car to Places to See More Cars-- Part 1: Corvettes
From the March 29, 2015, Chicago Tribune "Spring Break Drives."
Well, a bit late for spring break, but still places you can drive to see neat old cars and automobilia stuff.
CAVES AND CORVETTES--
Destination: National Corvette Museum, Bowling Green Kentucky.
Travel Time, miles: 6+ hours, 406 miles from Chicago
Recommended vehicle type to use for trip: America's sports car (Corvette), preferably convertible.
The sinkhole that swallowed eight vintage Corvettes on Feb. 14, 2014 has been filled and is now an official part of the museum's 21-year-old history. Sadly, only 3 of those 8 were able to be restored and the museum is preparing an exhibit on the sinkhole.
