Hmmm......interesting.

Might be transfers from one dealer location to another. Are those paper dealer tags on the cars? Looks like it. I'm wondering if it's some sort of savings that a dealer may get for taking a lump-sum of new Corvettes closer to the GM Plant in BG, then transferring them - or a BIG Chevy dealership or one with allocations that aren't moving fast enough selling at a profit to another Chevy dealership that is selling them like crazy. One thing's sure, though - if they're new, the window stickers each have the dealer they were originally sold to on them. Could be lots of things, but interesting they're headed East (from the looks of the shadows from the trees) in a full-load of C7s. Were they all the same color, they could conceivably be a Tangier Shriner's Club purchase. My new Corvette was one of fifteen all the same color delivered to Anderson Auto Sales, Wahoo, NE. Shriner's Club.

Maybe bayed ones in Nashville headed out?

I agree with Skid Row. There are definitely some sort of plates (probably temporary) on the two we can see the rear end of. These are not new C7's coming from the factory.

That's what I'm thinking too. It's hard to see much detail but looking at the yellow one on the bottom the tires just don't have that 'new' look. What you said is probably true.

My dealer (Ken Fichtner) sent me pics of my car on the truck at his store. It had been to Ohio by truck, Butte, MT by rail, and then back to the Billings area by truck. It had the cover on it when it got to the dealership. After that, Ken prepped the car, then hired another company to ship the car to me here is KS, which was an uncovered trailer with no cover on the car. It arrived covered in salt and grime. No biggie - 10 minutes in the (touchless) car wash, and it looked like new.
These cars may be second-market vehicles being transferred to other dealers.

Not a Jack Cooper truck so for sure not new C7s. If that's west bound on i40 near Knoxville it's for sure not new as it's going the wrong way from BG.
