2017 Corvettes Released for Shipping!
So far, we have 41 built and sitting in the yard with 96 more being built THIS WEEK!
Imagine how happy I was to just get notification that 2 full truck loads (22 cars total) just left Bowling Green on their way to Atlantic City!
[EDIT - There are 3 full trucks on the way as of today for a total of 33 cars.]
I'm guessing they could be here late tomorrow or early Wednesday, but that's only a guess since I haven't spoken to either driver.
Before you get to excited, my guess is that since I haven't been invoiced for any yet, these cars probably will not have window stickers so they won't be able to be sold yet.
But, at least you'll be able to come in and see some new Grand Sports in person!

All cars leave the plant via auto transport (11 per truck). Cars being shipped by rail are carried 11 at a time to Toledo, Ohio, where they are then loaded onto the rail cars. The determining factor at the plant on when a car leaves on a transport is the availability of space on a truck going to a specific location, like Toledo, or to a specific dealership, or to a specific state or region.

Are these just the cars going to Kerbeck? Is it safe to assume there are more than 33 cars shipping out today when accounting for other dealerships too?
