I'll post when I find out for sure.
Think about this Jim. You said: A member. Of your Corvette club. Has picked up his new C7. Sometime last week. But so far the only picture of it is a dark car with a dealer plate.

None of that makes sense. Anyone who is such a fan of something, to belong to a club devoted to it. Would not simply have a dark picture of the newest version of it, that has taken 9 years to arrive. I would bet money, that any Corvette customer, who belongs to a Corvette club and has actually picked up his C7 sometime last week. Would have PLENTY of clear, colorful pictures already.. and probably have them posted all over the internet (forums, email, Facebook, etc).

Do we even need mention this would be the first customer delivered C7. Making it even more of a big deal. I would imagine even the dealer he purchased the C7 from.. would be posting these pictures ALL over social media.

If you do see the car check the last 6 numbers of the vin#.

GM's Captured Test Fleet cars' vins begin with 000001

Customer ordered cars begin with 100001

That will tell you if it is his car or GM's

When I get my delivery I can assure you - You might get a quick snap or two in the first few days, because I'll be too busy driving.
