Florida Winter Regional Road Tours

Dear Fellow Corvette Enthusiast,

The Florida Chapter of the National Corvette Restorers Society (NCRS) is now planning our 47^th Annual Florida Winter Regional Event. The three-day event will start on January 15^th, 2026 at the American Muscle Car Museum (AMCM) 3500 Sarno Rd. Melbourne, FL. It is a 42-acre modern site with outdoor space to host over 200+ Vendors with large 10’w x 20’l spaces on concrete and grass. The museum contains owner Mark Pieloch’s 40-year collection of 400+ pristine muscle cars, motorcycles and much more.  The museum is not open to the public but hosts numerous non-profit events allowing entrance during those events. This year’s NCRS event will focus on Flight and Open Judging as well as showcasing commercial and individual Corvette vendors. An assortment of popular Food Trucks will be on-site all three days for your dining pleasure. At the end of Friday’s NCRS functions, the AMCM will open the unbelievable 90,000 sqft American Muscle Car Museum to all registered event participants from 4:00-7:00pm as part of the registration fee, and Saturday from 11:00am-3:00pm. NCRS members receive entrance to the museum with their registration. All non-NCRS members are invited to pay an entrance fee of $30, cash, at the museum door. Proceeds go to the local non-profit Florida Wildlife Hospital.

The AMCM is located five minutes off I-95. There are many nearby hotels including 3 with blocks of discounted rooms reserved for our event; the Hilton Rialto, Hyatt Place Melbourne Airport and Doubletree Oceanside all-Suite hotel, See details on flyer or website: fl.ncrs.org.

 We would be honored if you would consider attending this event. If your club decides to come as a road tour please let us know how many we can expect by 12/20/25. We will set aside spaces in the grassy Corvette Corral field for you. We look forward to hearing from you and seeing you at our 47^th NCRS Florida Winter Regional Event.
