Presentation stage
If GM is going to use the same presentation technique as in the commercials - i.e. the cars rising out of the stage as I speculate, with the Vetts featured in the teasers first and the C8 last, then stage construction should start no later than Monday. As I recall someone posted a YouTube url of the construction and take down of the stage for the commercials somewhere on the forum.
Anyone around there keeping an eye on the hanger?
Second, the C8s have got to be shipped there somehow - truck etc Spies on the alert

I've been driving by in my Z doing recon for the last several weeks. "Business" has really picked up this week. GM isn't playing around. Local PD has been posted in and around the facility. I'm sure there has been a BOLO for a Blacked Out Z06 cruising around.....

Supposedly this will be GM's largest reveal in history. Getting the car there and ready will be a logistical challenge and I wouldn't be surprised if it leaked next week.

True... supposedly all the big car magazines/outlets have already tested the car and have release articles ready. So they all have their pictures queued up.

Anyone interested in setting up some lawn chairs next to the gate? Or have a nice telephoto lens and a rooftop nearby?

Yeah Rick Conti said that the guy that was snooping out the area for him said one of the guards there said the cars weren't going to be there until 2 to 3 hours before the reveal.

As far as the C8s being delivered, if it's in the blimp hanger, then they'll just pull their enclosed trailer into the hanger, close the doors, and then offload. No one hoping for a chance to see it from outside the hanger would have that opportunity.

Not an issue, for the C8 and related reveal display cars will be arriving within closed transporters, probably two Reliable Transport tractor-trailers as GM almost always uses them, and then they drive them into the hanger, close the hanger doors, and unload them in total privacy.
Here’s a picture I took while jagamajajaran and I took we were outside waiting to get into November 28, 2017’s ZR1 reveal.

My presentation would have a Narrator. It would have seven slots and each car would come up individually by generation. And then after a brief narration and some theatrics and music of how the C8 came to be it comes out with the other cars surrounding it. Damn I can't wait
