Default Corvette caravan in tn

Yesterday my girlfriend said she met a caravan of Corvettes on a rural road here in middle Tennessee........she said about 10 or so of them, they had some sort of cover on them and were following another small sports car. Anybody knows anything about it. I tried to Goggle it, nothing came up!

Covered as in like the factory uses on new models? Interesting. Would be curious to know as well.

Hmmmm. Let's speculate a test hop in new C7s disguised to throw off the media spies led by a C6.

With C7 introduction set for January, Bowling Green has probably already assembled enough C7s for press review and media.

She said it was a like a bug shield on the whole car............They were on a secondary state highway. I ask her if they were new ones, she wasn't sure. If they were new ones being delivered why were they on a secondary road. Maybe they wanted to try them out???

Those were most likely disguised, pre-production test vehicles from the Bowling Green plant.

If they were C7s (big IF), they were not being delivered: they were being test driven in preparation for media day next month.

It is my understanding none of the C7s has yet been shipped.
