The holes in the C7 w/s frame are different than previous models and the flags won't stay in them. I wanted something too so went to a fabricator and started a design with him to make the one shown (much larger and will support a 5ft flag and staff). I've received so much attention at shows and parades I'm in the patent process now and my attorney will help me with an LLC when the patent is done. I don't have a time frame, it seems the process is laborious. I'm also looking at a different fabricator that has the time to produce them. I can tell you it's 100% aluminum, and hand made and welded in GA. I also had it powder-coated in a semi-gloss black. It sits on the carpet frame piece behind the seats and hooks to the rear roof latch with two thumb screws. No mod at all is required to the car.

When I'm positive I can legally accept orders I'll go through the forum vendor section and pay the fee so I can advertise it and publish the price. It currently weighs about 7lbs with the powder-coating. Very easy to handle and mount in about two minutes or less after removing the roof.

Flag Caddie made these for C5 and C6 Corvettes. However, the hole in the windshield header on the C7 does not go all the way through, so these won't work.

That's exactly what I have for the C5's, so why don't they make them for C7's?

I got the phone number for the guy in IL that made those. He hadn't figured out yet how to make them for the C7's.

Because the hole in the windshield header does not go all the way through, so the prior mounting method won't work.

I don't think they are forum vendors so they probably can't give us a group buy?

I have sold my beloved 'LoLa', but I still have the flag mount. It will fit all C7 coupes with out any additional hardware required. The black is a powder coat baked onto heavy gauge aluminum and in excellent shape. I was going to put it into production for about $750 per mount but never pursued it after selling my coupe.

If you're ever passing through Atlanta (I live in the northern burb Roswell), send me a PM to arrange for a look if you're interested at that price. I have nearly that much invested in the initial unit.

Looking back, I wish I had never sold Lola

Call Doug at Flag Caddie LLC, Belvidere, IL, 815-979-4591, he has US Flags with correct posts for C-1 through C-7. I received US Flags and posts for C-7 Vert and C-7 Coup from him in March, 2018. They fit perfect.

Have used these flags bought at ACE Hardware for three Memorial Day Parades! They cost $3 apiece. Wrapped some tape on the ends, and solid below 40 mph!

Thanks, guys,
We're looking to get our club logo done on a flag for parade use only.
I would like to know your thoughts on how to accomplish this for our club.

Anyone know Flag Caddie does custom flags?
