After I looked it over I was left scratching my head. Based upon the fancy box, leather sleeve, good paper quality and Fed Ex delivery, it probably costs $15 to $25 per customer. Seems like a lot to deliver what is essentially an advertising brochure to someone who already bought the product.

Something useful like a nice emblem fob or sleeve for the remote would have been a better choice.

2015 Z51 vert ordered 9/3/2015: Built 10/21/2014: Delivered 10/30/2014.

Nothing but payment book in the mail.

Passenger seat, missing some foam padding, came with the car.
Emergency gas fill funnel did not come with the car.
Seat & funnel taken care of by dealer.

I can't even get a printed showroom brochure. Dealer says only the pdf version available; which I have.

I have a collection of brochures for every new performance car I bought going back to my 75 Trans Am. I even have some for the in between years when I didn't buy. This is my fifth, and most expensive Corvette, but for this $75K+ car they can't afford to print a brochure?

I received one, but it was almost 5 months since delivery. Nice book in a leather sleeve (mine was real leather), but I'm not sure what I'll do with it. I'm sure having it will add value at trade-in time.

I received mine a few months after delivery. Mine came in red to match my interior. I've been using it as a sleeve for my iPad mini. Here is a pic for the 15's who may still be waiting for theirs!

I bought my 15 brochure on eBay for 25 bucks. The dealers rarely have them unless it's one of the top 5 Corvette dealers in the nation.

Had thought you only received these when you order a car. My 2014 is from Kerbeck dealer stock and received mine about a month later.

Not bad looking and had forgotten about it until this thread popped up

Bought mine in October and just got it last week. Came FedEx. Pretty cool, plus the Ron Fellows invite runs until Feb 2016, so I have some extra time. Definitely plan to go if I can.

Good for 1 year from date of purchase, unless GM has extended it.

For those who actually got the gift, where did it come from? Who actually sent it? I wonder if those of us who didn't get it could contact someone.

Mine just showed up in the mail via FedEx. I wish I had more info for you. I assume they had my order number and just based it off that.

No, just said the marketing company which made it I believe.

It's really hit or miss I guess. I know a lot of people who ordered their cars but never got it. My dealership didn't even know about it yet it had them on the thank you letter as well?

Does not make much sense.
