Default New 2017 Color Unseen....SEEN!



One of our clients saw one of the New 2017 Corvette colors yet to be announced….it is a trendy color but he said it was gorgeous! GM will reveal the official name at the Bash Event later this month and we will be there.

Now the rule is NOT to post unless GM announces it, of course they have put the market in a dizzy spin with bringing 2017 to the conversation much earlier than usual…so should I?!???!

Here is all I will say , if the name he was told holds true for what he was told - it has an “E” and a “B” in the name - stay tuned!

SEE YOU AT THE BASH KIDS




~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
TUES A.M. EDIT

GM has announced the New Blue Admiral and there should be a New darker Blue, but this post is about another new color that was seen for 2017 and ITS NOT BLUE

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Not a name we have seen before.....

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Trendy I mean a limited color, not on the mainstream such as Black, Red, White and Silver

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

One poster has mentioned a color, not the right name, but he is on the right track....sorry not going to say what page....

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

GM has already announced the New Watkins Glen Grey

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

MY ONLY HINT TODAY IS ;

Are you hungry?!


See you at the bash kids....

OF COURSE YOU SHOULD!! What's the matter with you? The fate of the entire Western World depends on us knowing NOW! And just think: Future orders flowing toward you could very well depend on your decision. Your reputation is at stake. You don't want to be seen as a tease.

You simply MUST tell us now that you brought it up.

I hope it really pops and is a base color. I am thinking 2017 to replace my current 2014 NRB convertible, color selection is currently limited. Long Beach Red is the only color that I am interested in, unfortunately at a premium price.

sorry not posting, don't need someone all over me when I arrive like last year....no time for insults - keep guessing, but NO TO ALL SO FAR....I was going to mix the letters of the name up and let you guess that way, but would have been too easy

Not Electron Blue as they have announced Admiral Blue already....

I know there's no "B", but I'm hoping for Atomic Orange or another bright orange!

Are the E and B in the same word? Is it one word or two or three (like Corvette Racing yellow)?
