Default 2018 Dealer Brochures to arrive tomorrow!

I just received an email indicating our 2018 Corvette Dealer Brochures have shipped and will arrive at the dealership tomorrow. Be on the lookout at your local dealer for a brochure soon!

As posted before, you can view a digital copy of the brochure here:

I hope GM spent some money on a better brochure than adding a few pictures and changing the cover.

I'm just happy to see it being released close to the initial shipment of 2018 Corvettes. Last year the brochures didn't arrive until winter.

Does the fact that the brochures don't have any information on the "proposed" ZR1 indicate that the test mule car we've seen all over the world, with the exception of dealerships, may not arrive until 2019? Or has GM ever sent out a revised brochure mid-year on in this case late 2017 or early 2018?

This is the 2018 model year brochure. I think it's safe to say there will not be any additional 2018 models. I sure hope there will be a new model announced soon though!

Thanks. That's why I'm thinking the ZR1 may not be released as a 2018, rather a 2019. It just seems these test mules have been around for 1.5 years so many were expecting it to be released as a 2018. If they do start building the ZR1 after the plant reopens this fall, can they call it a 2019 and still build and sell them in early 2018?

I looked for the usual page of exterior color selections (to see how they handled the phase-out of Black Rose - didn't expect to see the replacement color), but there is no color page. None for interior colors or pictures of wheels, either. Unusual. Is this the whole brochure?

I don't see it either. Maybe there are missing pages in the PDF.

Hi Nate, please ask Matt to set one aside for me, my '18 ZO6 is TPW this week so it shouldn't be long before I'll be picking up the car in the next few weeks.

Thanks to Matt at Van Bortel's for calling me up to let me know the brochures had arrived. Also thanks Nate for posting this!
I now have all the Corvette sales brochures from 1953 to 2018!

Weeeeelllllll, they definitely have more than three listed in their 2017 488 build guide, (7 out of 26 to be exact) but its also a $250k+ car, you get options with that cost. Side note on ferrari... 26 options when all they need is red is a bit of overkill IMO.
