Shipping Delay
Car is ready to ship but expected delivery estimate is two months out. Is there not a requirement for cars to be shipped within a certain timeframe after being turned over as ready for to ship? Only 165 miles from Bowling Green.

If the car has already been turned over to Jack Cooper for shipping, you can expect anywhere from a couple days to a couple weeks before the car leaves Bowling Green. There is no way to tell where you will fall, but it will probably be somewhere in the middle like 7 to 10 days. This assumes that the car is actually produced (and therefore you would have the VIN by now) and there is not a quality hold on the car. Once you have the VIN, you can look at the production spreadsheet to see exactly when the car was produced.

BG spitting 'em out x 2 shifts means they pile up, fast.
Only 165 miles from Bowling Green.
Not your problem living so close, an extra grand for NCM delivery w/could've been money well spent.
A great informative time, get to sleep in your own bed when day's done, and new c8 safely in possession w/ no nonsense..

"2 months is what GM told Dealer" Maybe, or maybe not... IF that's what the dealer told you. I'd hate to be the one to suggest that dealer personnel might not always be honest with their customers.

That's odd. Northern AL here about the same distance.
Built 1/14. 4000 on 1/15. Arriving at dealer 1/19 around 5pm. I will pick it up tomorrow since they won't finish PDI in time.
