Default C8 delivery

Who would get their C8 first? Two people from California with the same TPW, One going with Museum Delivery and the other regular delivery through his or hers California Dealer.

Yes, tough. A lot depends on the trucking company which has to fill complete loads. Travel tome to California suggests that NCM delivery wins every time.

After watching my C7 delivery to California move at a glacial pace (GPS tracking) and being stuck at a train yard (Ohio I think) I'm going to guess museum delivery will be quicker.

And the Rail Road gets involved. Having just retired from Union Pacific I know there could be problems. I am hearing they may truck all Western orders.

If they rail the cars out west, I think museum wins. If they truck the cars out west, I think that wins.

How many museum deliveries will they do on the same day....? Unless that is a real low number and your car would have to sit across the street till your day at the museum came up I don't see any way that wouldn't be the fastest.

My guess is a museum delivery would be faster, but they can only do so many per day so could be a tossup.

‘The union requires the cars to be trucked from the assembly plant to the museum, all of about 2 or 3 blocks.
