Default Surprise delivery

Ordered my 2016 Stingray from MacMulkin on August 6th. I had a tpw of
Sept 14th. Received an e-mail that my car was built / finished on Sept 14th and bayed. Today, Wed 9/16 at noon, I got a call from my courtesy
Chevrolet dealer in Pompano Beach, Florida, that my new Corvette just came off the truck. That was faster then expected.

A quick note for others waiting for their delivery, I contacted MacMulkin immediately to advise them that my Corvette had just been delivered to the dealer. Their system was still showing that the car was still bayed, awaiting to be loaded onto a transport. They said that Chevy's computer is a little behind and has some catching up to do. So if you are waiting for your delivery, you also may get a early surprise !

Congratulations! I didn't know u could order from MacMulkin and get delivered to a dealer locally. Can you also do this with other volume dealers like Kerbeck?

Absolutely, yes. Google "courtesy delivery". Factory ships to the delivering dealer but invoices the ordering dealer.

That's freaking incredibly fast build to dealer!!! Harken back to when the 2016's first started rolling off the line. We were all waiting over a month to get them!

Note to self, next time order a couple months after the new MY..
