I don't think it has been announced yet. Late June/early July 2019 is a reasonable guess.

I would expect the 2019 model year production to end at the typical June to July time period as the majority of "normal" automobile production plants typically do.

The short 2018 and early 2019MY release dates for the C7 generation are more anomalies than standard OEM manufacturing practices.

Please correct me if I am wrong.
I believe that they cannot produce the 2020 model year until January 2019.
This would mean that 2019 production would run until end of 2018.
Recall the crazy 2018 model year ending January 2018 and MY 2019 starting January 2018.

According to Rick, they will be built through at least March of 2019, possibly longer.

What are you up to Dave? I thought your Z06 was a long term keeper?

Never say" Never"! LOL! Also, I think MY 2019 production will end at the end of March 2019. I also think that this will be the last of the C7 generation. I think the plant will then shutdown and make ready for the 2020 Mid Engine Corvette that will debut in September of 2019! Again, this is what I "think"..... with absolutely no knowledge of facts.

Dave, I really liked the Z06, but could no longer justify the large monthly payments. So,I sold it back to the dealership I bought it from. I got back what I owed on it and didn't lose much...plus
I did miss the convertible! So I have a new '19 that was ordered for me and a much more livable payment!
