Default C6 Vert with top up???

Just got back from New York Auto Show. Really loved the C6 vert. When I asked if I could see the C6 with the top up, Kelly (the woman displaying the car) told me that there was much discussion on this and she was told not to show the C6 with the top up!!

What gives? Are there any pic of C6 Vert with the top up?

That's pretty weak of her not to show it with the top up.

GM released several pictures with the top up (see above post) so I don't know why she had an issue with it...

Check this out...this was an email that was sent to me from Monica Dean. Hope this helps.

Here's a nice gallery of C6 Convertible pictures from the Geneva show. http://www.gmeurope.com/geneva2004/p...nvertible.html

Just glad I could help out someone on the forum with information...

I've gained so much insight into Corvettes from this forum over the last five years that I am just happy to be able to jump at the chance to help someone else out for a change!

Many time those cars shown at car shows must have their batteries removed or disconnected for (fire marshal reasons). They have them hooked up to electrical outlets to power the lights.

They may not have had enough power available to lower the top if it was a power top.

Or not!
