Default A '96 without cd-player?

I saw a '96 (LT-4) with a cd-player
According to the seller an original.
The carfax only mentions a radio-cassette.
Are there '96 Vettes without a cd-player?
Or is it that standard that it wasn't worth mentioning?

Carfax dosen't know squat about what a particular car was optioned with.

Of the 21,536 1996 Vettes produced, 17,037 have the optional CD Delco stereo.

Who needs a cd player, let alone a radio, when you have the "Megaphone Concerto" playing?

there were 3 audio systems available in 1996:

1) Base Delco, cassette radio, 4 speakers.

2) Delco Bose, cassette radio, 6 speakers.

3) Delco Bose, CD, cassette radio, 6 speakers.

The Bose part, the speakers, were the same with both Bose systems. If you have #2, all you need is #3's head unit to make it happen.

Okay, my '96 has two in the rear compartment (coupe), and one in each door sill in the front. That's four.

Where are the other two????

I don't know my code, but I have the original Delco/Bose Casette in mine...just can't seem to let go of the "factory look" in favor of a *much* better sounding aftermarket headunit, speakers, and amp.
