Looks like you can cross off another potential debut location. The press schedule for the 2019 New York show dropped today, and GM's not doing anything, with any or their brands.

The unveil will be at the Museum Bash in August!!!!!!!. I have been saying this for Months. My contact months back said NY Autoshow was talked about. But the Museum unveil has been in the works for August in Kentucky!!!!!

Thanks Jeff, I was waiting for that.

Maybe the LA Auto Show in November.

Pretty clear that the ME has some issues and is not production ready. Probably trying to do too much with the technology.

Bowling Green has no scheduled flights in or out. Camping looks like the best option for the news media.

I kind of had my hopes up of running into Chris Harris at Waffle House. But maybe he's more of an IHOP guy?

If I had contacts, they'd likely not say anything about it. Zerv was my last link to "my guys on the inside" and we all know how that turned out

I think unveiling it in at the 25th anniversary caravan event would be epic... do it in the car's home town among the Corvette faithful. With social media why do you need a big auto show?

Shoot the "frame issues" are making the rounds on mainstream media already; all from internet forum posts. The car's release will be picked up just fine.

Nashville Airport

This is the airport in Bowling Green..... probably not a lot of inbound flights from LA coming through this place.

So if it's at the anniversary in August, does that mean at the Bash in April they will just bring the same 2019's they had last year?

LIStingray

no. They have the four Corvette Racing driver's special editions.

Jeff V.

I don't know about you, but I was really excited by their re-use of existing colors and stripe combinations.

Probably around 15,000 rooms and 40,000 restaurant seats in Nashville plus plenty of flights from all over into Nashville. Over 460 flights daily and to/from 65 non stop markets with over 10,000 passengers daily arriving and departing Nashville daily. That ain't a kick town buddy.

Easy for the "journalist" to fly into Nashville, rent a car in Nashville, rent a motel room in Nashville, have dinner in Nashville, and go to bed in Nashville. Get up the next morning, have an early breakfast at the motel and then drive for an hour on Interstate 65 arriving at Bowling Green in plenty of time for the unveiling at the Museum. Even if you are a few minutes late, the car won't melt waiting for you to arrive.

Look at the pretty little car behind the ropes, maybe get to see one being driven around the museum's track by a GM employee and then get a GM press kit, drive back to Nashville to your motel that evening. The following day, while on the plane, change a few sentences in the GM press release, select which photos(from the GM press kit) to use, while flying home from Nashville. The next day, put your "article" on the new Corvette on your editor's desk.

Or just skip the whole thing because Kentucky in August is the last place you want to be. Just make a few changes to the GM press kit and file it. Done and Done.

JoesC5

But then you can't honestly say "I was there". Beside, the museum is air conditioned and so are rental cars.

But you are correct in that that is what normally happens. Then write an article for next month's issue of Better Log Cabins and Vegetable Patches in Colorado.

JerriVette

Thanks fir the heads up. After the detroit let down its better to know early the NY show will be a no show as well,

There is something very funny about this "C8 Reveal..."

Appears that everyone was ready for the new mid engine to go into production in June, but the "star" got a bad case of "stage fright".
