Hello,
Just put a deposit down about a week ago at Criswell. Still trying to make up my mind on colors. My first Corvette

I'll put it into a new post unless there is an existing thread - wondering what the best way is to see color combos in person. Internet and Chevy build site is helpful, but I know in person is the best way to decide.

I live in East Tennesse so was thinking of running to BG to the museum but if anyone else has ideas I would love to hear them.

Thanks in advance for any advice anyone can offer.

Welcome to the forum. Making a trip to the museum is not a bad idea if you want to see some of the colors up close. I would give them a call ahead of your trip and see just what color cars are there at the time.
