Very nice! Chevy did a great job with these models and makes for a nice display piece.

I called the Corvette Concierge today and told him I hadn't received my welcome kit and speed model yet.
He was very nice. He took my VIN and info and checked with vendor. He said order had not been placed yet but would put in an expedited order.
He said if no one calls me in a week or so to call back.
I picked up my '22 Red Mist Coupe last mid-October, so it's been about 8 months.
We'll see...

In post #5 I stated that I had called Corvette Concierge today. Although very helpful and said they would expedite the order...Guess what arrived on my porch today.
Yes it did. A nice presentation I might add.

It is really weird. Mine was built in Nov, picked up Dec 3rd, and still haven't gotten mine, and I know there are lots of people who have been waiting even longer.

Mine took 6 months to arrive, which seems to be the average. Based on @bullmarket 's experience, it appears that a call to the Concierge is worthwhile if you have been waiting longer than 6 months.

Default Inept GM

The good news and the bad news. The good news……… Chevy shipped my speed shape model 4 months after picking up my car. The bad news……they shipped it to a house I sold over 4 years ago before you could even buy a C8. Who knows where they got that address from! Lucky for me the family that bought the house was nice enough to let me know I got a package there. So after a 30 minute drive I did get my model.
I wish OnStar was that inept that they would send all of their marketing junk to my old address! Unfortunately they know where I live. Why would GM spend the money making these and then paying FedEx to ship this heavy brick and not even reference the sales documentation for the car?
So if you ever moved in your lifetime your model may have gone to a previous address and may be sitting on the mantel of your old house or worse yet being sold on Ebay for $250.
