Cashmere Top
The wife and I were driving back from Connecticut on Interstate 80. We saw a car carrier that was all Corvettes. One was a convertible with a Cashmere top. Maybe someone pulled some strings, but we saw one.

Grey Tops too.
When we were at BG on Wednesday 3/09/05, we saw a C6 at the Wendy's right outside if the plant with a Grey top. I even have a picture of it.
It had dealer plates on it. Check out the picture.

I believe these are going out to dealers for testing.

Test cars do not to to Dealers. There is a mag red convertible running around between BG and Spring Hill manufacturing that has the Cashmere top. It is being driven by GM managers at both the BG plant and at the Spring Hill plant. I drove it two weeks ago, when it was in TN. (Also a plain Jane C6 running around with a LS7 engine stuffed inside, but does not have the ZO6 suspension, tires or other ZO6 attributes, but it screams.)
There is a possibility that the ones seen on trucks could be destined for Milford Proving Grounds, a supplier for testing, or they are manufacturing them for sale.
