Default Gift from GM?

I recall reading that GM sends a token gift to new C7 owners. I think it was some sort of binder. Is this still true? I bought my car in July and the only thing I have received is a book about the development of the C7.

For my 2014 Vette a few months after purchase I received a thank you letter explaining the enclosed flat rectangle leather pouch was crafted from the same leather used on the car interior. I use it for insurance papers kept in glove box. I can't answer if GM has continued this program only confirm what you heard.

Mine is still at the manufacturer and they are trying to figure out my address and where and when to send it. It's been one year today since I closed the deal.

That leather cover is an excellent case for a 7" tablet.

I got the leather pouch for my 2015 Z06. I put the paper copy of my owners manual in it, and keep it in the glove box (perfect fit).

If you did not order your car you get nothing. I ordered my 14 Stingray and my 15 Z06 and got the matching interior colored leather pouch and a letter thanking me for buying there product within six weeks of each purchase.

I ordered my 2016 Z51 Coupe, and did the Buyer's Tour.

I got nothing. I thought in previous years, the packet also included the Ron Fellows Invitation.

Front Camera, Hatch Closer, and Flat Bottom Steering wheel more than make up for it!!!!!

I received that book and the leather pouch probably 3-4 months after my purchase along with the letter. The pouch is pretty neat.... I was surprised to receive these things because I had no idea that I was suppose to receive anything at all.. Just wait it out, I'm sure you will recieve these things as well. The address that GM uses is the one on the buyers paperwork (most likely), so if you move or change addresses you may not ever get it....
