It was attempted to be delivered yesterday & I thought it was a grill for my Spirit so I had FedEx deliver the package to the closest Kinko's for a today pickup.
When I got there & saw the small box, I got to wondering what the item was as I hadn't ordered anything else.

Then I saw the words on the shipping label congratulations on your new corvette & then I knew what it was.

I'm pleased that it wasn't a GS/Z06/ZR1 thing only as I've read in other posts & that GM recognizes all new Corvette purchasers/owners.

So, in typical me fashion who loves to take pics & document stuff, here's pics on how the driver handbook was packed.

FedEx Box, duh:


Wrapped in bubble bag:


Wrapped in a 2nd clear bag:


Congrats letter:


Driver handbook box, which has this weird almost velvety/rubbery, if I'm describing it right, feels kinda like the feel of the door panels & dash in our cars:


Letter & driver handbook box side by side:


What's inside the driver handbook box:


Handbook binder open displaying card with owner name, VIN & where auto was purchased & driver handbook:


Closeup of card with owner name, VIN & where auto was purchased:


And the cover of the book:


I haven't fully opened the book, just lightly scanned pages as the binder is very stiff.

I guess along with my owners manual that I've not opened or read yet (since Sept. 5th, along with all of of my paperwork when I picked up the car is still in its plastic bag), will make for some good winter reading.

Got mine on Thursday; It is well done but not sure what all the hype has been about it. I suppose it's a nice collectors item to go with the car but other than that...

That's the way I view it, & the 2013 brochure I got last week, "nice to haves".

I haven't yet been able to get my hands on the 2013 brochure; dealer doesn't have them.

Remove the book, and you've got a document holder for your vehicle registration and insurance card that you can put in the glove box.

Got mine last week and feel the same way. The dealer sent me a 2013 brochure so now I will add this to it.

That's really cool! I just got my 2013 coupe on Friday! Do all new Vette owners get one these packages in the mail!?

Nice. I received mine last year after purchasing my 11' 1LT so I dont think it is reserved for the higher end cars. I was surprised to get it as I had no idea it was coming. I am happy I did because this is my first new Corvette and I think it is a great add.

Can't wait to get mine for my '12 GS 1LT which I just bought on the 14th!

Its a nice little "thank you" item. Just feels good getting an unexpected package.

I picked up my 2013 on June 27. I think we will all get one.

Hope I get one. Would be nice to have.

My dealer just got in the 2013 brochures a couple of weeks ago. He saved one for me. I will never understand the slowness of GM in getting out info in the 13's.

Big Dan 427

Got mine last week, a nice surprise!

BD, when did you buy your 427? I bought a GS in July and have not received anything.

Thanks

Received my handbook in the mail yesterday. I was getting a bit concerned since I took delivery on June 14th at the museum. I wonder what the process is for distributing the handbooks to owners. Seems it would be based upon some confirmation of delivery.
