Default C8 at DC Auto Show?

Sorry to ask, but I searched the auto show website and the forum. It would be the only reason I would go. Usually there is nothing more there than what's in a current showroom.

Somebody here posted a list they saw on Facebook with the auto show appearances and DC was included. How accurate that list is remains to be seen, but with more cars making the rounds (than just the initial 2 dealer show cars) it seems likely.

I'm wondering if there will be a C8 convertible. Saw the coupes at Carlisle and NCM, but really would like to see the 'vert.

This posting says the C8 will be at the Washington DC show but not sure accuracy of source.

The C8 might be carjacked before it gets to the show.

According to the Corvette C8 concierge, the C8 is not on the schedule to appear at the Washington DC or Baltimore shows--unless it will appear as a surprise, whatever that means.

'Just got confirmation a C8 will be on display in Baltimore..... Good news!

Bad news? It will be resting on cinder blocks. No options for wheels and tires....

No, why would it be? Unless you are an African-American drug dealer/ gang member, Baltimore is quite safe. The inner harbor/ convention center, (Oriole Park and M&T) area's are really safe. But if it makes you feel better to spout bs, have at it.

I called twice in the last two days and got the same answer both times. Both concierges went and checked and said the new C8 will definitely be on display at the DC show.

They both had the same answer when asked about the Ft Lauderdale show (cause I will be in there this weekend) that they were unsure and had no direct info for that show unlike the DC show where they had direct info.

The ads for DC auto show are on TV. I thought they flashed an image of a C8 from another show; but I wasn't paying much attention and didn't have the DVR going to rewind and look. Of course, they may not know but picked the car since it is hot.

Prompted by FF2000 's post I called the concierge again and told them that they seemed to be giving different answers to the question. Apparently when you call the concierge number you do not always get someone in Detroit with the latest information. After checking with some folks in Detroit they changed their answer and said the C8 will be at the Washington DC show. Tried to get more details on convertible vs. coupe but was not successful.

I look forward to seeing the c8 in NY city come April 10th.

hopefully the c8 will be in a different color than the orange most car dealers have shown in the NY metro area.

by then I think a few will have their c8 s and taken delivery for us to go for rides in if the weather isnt snowing etc..
