[VIDEO] The First Production 2020 Corvettes Have Left the Assembly Plant!

The moment we’ve all been waiting for just took place at 8:35 p.m. CST today, March 4, 2020! I was able to capture these screenshots and video from the National Corvette Museum’s exterior webcams just moments ago. The screenshot is not very good being a night shot, but I have included it to document the exact time of the initial departure. The video I captured for you, however, clearly shows the transports carrying Corvettes down the road headed toward I-65. The initial departure appears to have been four auto transporters.
We started hearing rumblings that today would finally be the day for the first deliveries to roll out of Bowling Green. Several members on the Corvette Forum reported talking to the Corvette Concierge and were told that cars would be shipping today.
The 2020 Corvette I have on order had the shipping destination status showing as “Null” until today. This afternoon it was updated to Bowling Green KY National Corvette Museum!
It’s a great day for Corvette and for those who will be taking delivery of their 2020 Corvettes in the coming days. Thank you to everyone on the Corvette Team and at the Bowling Green Assembly Plant for making all of this possible. I can’t wait to pick mine up at the National Corvette Museum!
UPDATE: Thanks to John Mullane for catching this screenshot from one of the NCM webcams this morning! It's another customer ordered load of 2020 Corvettes headed to a dealership!

Don't show this to Old Leadfoot, he attacked everyone and informed us all that no cars shipped today. Whoops, guess he was wrong.

Thanks, everyone! I spent a lot of time on the webcams today and it finally paid off tonight! 
Well, to his credit, nothing had shipped before this evening, so he was correct at that time. 
They jumped the gun a little in that the first trucks left this evening (besides the Hendrick enclosed auto transport with presumably VIN 001 in it).

Does anyone know the destination of these trucks? Will we have to wait for these trucks to return to continue shipping, or are there more trucks available and being loaded?

I don't know the exact dealerships these are headed to, but I do know that there are many more trucks at the plant and many more probably went out tonight or will leave in the morning.
