in the end they are quoting my 392nd spot in line as late spring/summer. So I’m guessing they’ll get through them before factories poop out 2021s

No, the 2020 MY won't run to anywhere close to March 2021, but they will be able to make up the weeks lost to the strike by working overtime - perhaps 6 days per week for both shifts. That's a 20% increase.

Some dealers that don't sell corvettes a lot do not get their allotments fast as others do in the East Coast. Would that be correct to say?
I'm looking into a dealer that will drop shipment to the closes dealer to me in Prescott ,Az. Lamb Cadillac/ Chev. says they will not except drop shipment.
Of Coarse, ordering at MSRP prices.

I can't answer that question for you but would like an answer to your other comment about allocations. Is it fair to say that every dealer in the USA gets their
quarterly allotment, whatever that number is, in a rotation system? For instance a dealer who is allotted 1200 Corvettes per year would get an allotment of 300 per
quarter and a dealer who only has an allotment of say 120 Corvettes per year get his quarterly 30 Corvettes at the same time as the larger dealer?
Any forum members know the answer?

Gerry Lane Chevrolet in Baton Rouge may have some allotments left.
(225) 926-4600. Ask for Diane Trask in Sales.
I'm on the List there. MSRP and no Dealer Fees.
They are not a big volume Corvette Dealer though, so I have no idea if that means getting a later delivery date than the Big Boys.

Recommended! Purchased my 2010 C6 from MacMulkin. Dealt with a guy named Tommy. He was honest and straightforward. Zero fees and I got a really good deal (C6’s weren’t nearly in demand at that time as the C8 is today). I would definitely do business with them again.

Generally speaking, dealers get their proportional allocation at the same time - big or small. Really small dealers may not get any allocations for a month or two because their monthly proportion is less than 1. The number of allocations in each order cycle can be a factor when items are on constraint (this can happen any time due to unforeseen circumstances (supplier impacted by natural disaster, strike, etc.). Constraints are more common in a new model year as everybody needs to ramp up production and Chevy doesn't really know which options are going to be big sellers. Say something is on 25% constraint (meaning that on a nationwide basis only 25% of allocations will allow that particular option). Dealers that get 3 or fewer allocations per cycle may not get any allocations that allow that option. Big volume dealers will get many allocations that allow that option.

I think those estimates are high. Maybe 100 or so total for MacMulkin, for December, less for Criswell (50 or so), and more for Kerbeck (130 or so).
