If you’re into Corvettes and feeling lucky, this could be your chance to drive away with a new mid-engine C8 edition.

The National Corvette Museum (NCM) in Bowling Green, Ky., located about a quarter mile from the factory that builds the iconic Chevy sports car, is raffling off several 2020 models. The price to play: $20 to $200.
3 Chances to Win
Raffles currently are underway for three C8 Vettes.
For just $20, you can take a flyer on a Torch Red 2LT coupe with a performance exhaust and removable roof package. The price is right, but this one will be a longshot—NCM plans to sell as many tickets as possible before the September 5 drawing.
The odds are much better for the other two C8s, if you’re willing to spend a little more.
The chance to win an Elkhart Lake Blue coupe with a performance exhaust system and upgraded interior package costs $100. Tickets will be limited to 2,000 people, with the drawing scheduled for May 29.
This will be followed a few weeks later with a June 18 drawing for a Blade Silver 2020 Corvette convertible with a Z51 performance package. In this case, $200 will give you a one in 1,500 chance to win.
All vehicles are powered by a 6.2-liter V-8 that kicks out 495 hp. The engine is mated with an 8-speed dual-clutch transmission.
Win-Win for Vette Aficionados
Don’t feel too bad if you don’t win. The proceeds of the raffle go to a great cause: helping to cover the museum’s operating costs.
Like most “non-essential” businesses, the museum has been closed for more than a month due to the coronavirus. But it’s expected to resume operations this summer. If you haven’t visited it yet, do yourself a favor and book a trip when you can. The experience will be well worth the effort.
NCM holds a similar raffle every year. But being that it’s the C8’s first year on the market, it’s also the first time the new model has been offered as a prize. Good luck!

Toyota Catching Air
There is a growing concern among automakers that young people just aren’t as keen on driving as those automakers—as in people who are generally north of 45—find that even their own children, kids who have grown up with a highly satisfactory lifestyle thanks to the existence of cars and trucks, are largely indifferent to driving or, in some cases, even getting a license.

NACTOY Finalists Announced
The finalists for the North American Car, Utility and Truck of the Year (NACTOY) awards were announced at the Los Angeles Auto Show today, and because the choices are essentially based on choices predicated on design and engineering (after all, as the jurors drive the vehicles, it isn’t an issue of sales or marketing), the selections of the three finalists in each category can be considered among the best in class when it comes to those two functions.
