Default C7 Brochures

Has anybody either gotten or heard of someplace to get a C7 brochure from? The dealers I've tried to get information from don't have any idea what they are selling it seems. When I contacted "one of the biggies" they gave me information that the engineers at Carlisle said was wrong, and even had at least one car there with the options I wanted, which I was told I could not get. When I tried the GM website it only showed 2013 Corvettes, so if anybody can give me a link to a site that has accurate infomation it would be great, but I'd still like a "printed" brochure to look at and take to a dealer and show them.

Brochures are a relic of the past with dealers. They cost money and you can get the same info off the Internet. C7 brochures will be extremely hard to get if not at all. The ball buster to me is, they add an advertising fee separate to the car when you purchase it, at least that was what happened to me with several GM purchases.

Online Ordering Guide is the most authoratative source that I know of. There is a lot more detail there than there is in a brochure. However, a brochure would have pictures that the online guide lacks.

I believe it was Kerbeck that said they were told the brochures will probably arrive after C7s start showing up at dealers.

Advertising fees are Dealer added, not GM. These are typically to cover local advertising costs of the dealership.

Hello...the actual Corvette brochures have not yet arrived at dealerships.
We always order a quantity equal to our expected allocations so that every one of our customers receive one when they take delivery.
I have several publications that Chevrolet have issued to us electronically.
Email me and I will send you what I have.
Ken

The museum is where I usually get mine. They will usually show up the same time as the dealerships however, most dealerships won't give you a copy unless you purchase the car. They will run about $25 or $30 at the museum.

The color brochures normally arrive at the dealers a few weeks after the first units have arrived, whether Corvette or Cruze or what have you. Those people doing pre production orders or even buying early builds will need to ask their dealer to set a brochure aside for them.

Corvette brochures can be difficult to obtain "free" unless you are an actual buyer or a long term customer. My understanding is the dealer is charged for each copy and I suspect many more people request Corvette brochures knowing they will not buy one than Silverado brochures knowing they will not buy one.

But more to the point, the Corvette Stingray brochures will not arrive in the dealership until at least a few weeks after the first builds are in the customers driveways.

The pictures are exactly the type thing I'm looking for. The stripes for one, the cargo covers & floor mats that have emblems on them (which cannot be ordered when I do the Museum Delivery (R8C)) and full interior pictures to confirm "what is what". On both my C5 & C6 cars, things that I could have gotten, and would have purchased, if I was informed of, and I don't want that to happen again (both cars were ordered as "sold units" and not out of inventory). Also, as recently experienced at multiple dealers I've gone to, the salesmen don't know what they are selling and messages left with dealer personnel have not been returned, even to just say "we don't yet know" or something to let me know your not just blowing me off.
