I got sent 2 of them and I own a 2015....

My dealership sends me them every year

( probably for me to buy a newer one ) but either way it will be nice to have every one for the run of the C7.

My dealer didn't have them and no plans to order them. I think they are around 15 bucks or so I am told. I may order one from the NCM.

May I ask what the big deal is about a brochure? Am I missing something here? I'm not trying to be a smart ***. I just don't get it.

Some of us collect items that relate to the car.

I have the reveal press kit, build sheets for my car, original dealership order guide etc.

It's just nice to have mementos of something that's important to me as Corvettes are my number one hobby.

I walked into a Chevy dealership about 60 miles from here as I was passing through that town and asked if they had any '17 brochures. They checked, broke open a box and gave me one. Just try asking a dealership for one. This year's brochure is very nice.

I don't think you're a smart-***.

In my case, I was promised one when I bought my GS. And besides being somewhat of a documentation-collector/nut, I expect the dealer to do what he said he would do. Not earth-shattering, just a topic to post and ask.

Most dealers today do not order them because of the cost.....they tell you to GO ONLINE and look....not realizing what we want them for. Most dealers don't understand or care to understand who or what a Corvette Buyer is.

I got one from Mike Furman at Criswell Chevrolet. It was a pleasure to meet him and he is Da Man when it comes to all things related to the Corvette.

No wonder Chevy dealers don't typically 'hand them out like candy' - unless they know you are serious about the car.

It's a big deal for me that I get one every year. I collect them and have every Corvette brochure since 1953. (I was also born in 1953)

Exactly, I stopped by the dealership on Tuesday. Asked if they had any brochures - he opened the drawer and here ya go.
