2020 C8 of the Year Finalist - Unmodified

Default LB Red 2LT Z51 Convertible

Not too many LB red cars and fewer Convertibles so I thought I would post this.

The HTC is so good looking with the top down. I think a HTC Z06 will be the dream ride.

That would have been my choice except for the interior... Sadly, no more LBR...

Nice machine!
I would have gotten the exact same color combo in a vert if I was in the market for a C8.

Really encouraging to see a HTC in the wild. It even has the body colored trim that we ordered too. Kai, at the factory, is driving a yellow one. Hopefully the re-start of production is just around the corner and in a month or two our Torch Red HTC will be coming off the line..... Is that light I see at the end of the tunnel???

Since no regular production convertibles have been built, this begs the question, is that a CTF or an EX VIN? Maybe I missed it, but I haven't heard that any of the built at BG CTFs and built to production specs were convertibles.

Since there will almost certainly be no 2020 regular production convertibles, and LBR is discontinued for 2021, that would be a nice acquisition if it is a CTF. It's likely a car given to a GM employee for demo and daily driver evaluation, but could still be sold as a CPO at some point in the future if it is a CTF car.

The first image shows a M plate so I would assume that it would be an EX vin.
