2007 model year
Does anyone know when the 07 model year will begin production and when you would be able to take delivery? My dad has a 57 vette and I would like to have one 50 years later but I am not sure if I could wait. thx.

The much anticipated Chromed Aluminum Wheel (QX3) is finally available for production. QX3 availability will run at approximately 25% of Corvette Coupe and Convertible production beginning March 20th

By the way, I think it's a really special idea you have to have the half-century split between your and you dad's cars. My father had a new '57 Buick Special. He used to work for GM when I was a kid, and I remember him driving from our home on Long Island to Detroit to pick up his car and save the shipping cost.
Back in those days in my neighborhood all the neighbors would come out of their houses and admire someone's new car, kind of like a block party. His was red and white two-tone. Very sexy!
My father's long gone, and I haven't had a GM car in decades. I'm heading toward a '07 Corvette too, and a flood of fine memories seems to be an unexpected bonus.
Hope you can work it out.
