The picture was taken in October 2007. The dealer (Courtesy Chevrolet at San Jose, CA) had 74 Corvettes in house that day, 14 of which were 2007 and 2008 Arctic Whites. (No folks, 14 is NOT correct answer.)
I think Arctic White is the least produced color in 2007 and 2008. So why so many Arctic Whites, I do not know. They ordered it this color. Most of them were 1LT with no additional option.

I see 9 AW, with a couple of darker c6s at the end of the row. Also see a few Velocity Yellows on the next row.

Hi Dave,
Nothing. Actually most of the Arctics sold by end of that year (2007). It is a beautiful color and was my second choice.

I missed you at Los Altos car show. We should get together one of these days you know.

No, you are good. It is very hard to see the last one. Hence the test. Many folks counted the shadows.
