Default See Elkhart Lake Blue-arrived...pictures *Mike Furman@Criswell 301-212-4420

~This past Tuesday...I was walking around the back of service and I noticed 3 Laguna Blue Corvettes that had just had their oil changed and ready for customer pickup...and then...
I walked around the front where the Corvette inventory is located and I viewed our first 2019 Elkhart Lake Blue Corvette as it was being uncovered. This is a Sold unit headed to Oklahoma
but I thought I would take some quick pics.


2019 Elkhart Lake Blue Metallic.





You can see Admiral Blue in the Background.




3 Laguna Blue C7's just finished with their oil changes.

Looks like a really bright true blue. Nice color.

ELB looks just a little darker than the Laguna Blue. What do you think Mike?

Beautiful color indeed. The interiors seem to all be black.
Love to see an Elkhart Blue with a Kalahari or Gray interior. Would expect it would look fantastic with either? I am interested to buy a GS convertible.

It's his partial day off so he may get back to you later.

Looks to be somewhere in between Laguna, and Admiral Blue. I like it.....I can just see my new GS convertible In Elkhart Blue with a blue top, and gray interior. I wonder if I can get the wife to see that too?

Looks amazing, and looks like it has more depth than the Leguna blue. I think a GS with a white stipe going down the middle is going to look killer!

I saw that car in person when I picked up mine from its MSRC upgrade service the other day. It had just been unwrapped. Pretty nice, only thing I am not sure I care for are the yellow calipers. I did not have the chance to park my Laguna Blue Z51 next to it for a direct comparison but they seem pretty similar But I am almost tempted to ask Mike to throw me a deal offer to trade.

Yes indeed, also with a little metallic in the blue, I would see a blade silver full stripe looking fantastic!

Yes just a hair darker than Laguna Blue...but I have to think the new paint facility will be a big improvement as well.
Not
even close to Admiral Blue, much lighter and right on top of Laguna Blue metallic. I have owned 3 laguna Blue C7's(14 Z51,15 Z06, 16 Z06)
and I will not hesitate to purchase Elkhart Lake Blue metallic.

I suspect it will look nearly exactly like mine, given Elkhart Lake Blue and Laguna Blue seem all but identical.

Default Eye popping blue for sure

Sure makes Admiral Blue look really dark.

wonder how many colors of the C7 will transition over to the C8/ME for 2020.

Elkhart Lake Blue will certainly be one of them.

wish Corvette would come out with a pearlescent crystal white metallic like the Cadillac/Audi//Lexus/Volvo.

Mike, by chance, is Elkhart Lake Blue the same color as Kinetic Blue on the Colorados? I just picked up a Kinetic Blue ZR2, and thought it looked very close to the pictures of ELB.

Hard to judge from different monitors, but looks to me almost identical to the C6 LeMans Blue. Below is my former 06 C6 Z06 below on delivery day. This was one of the first 500 Z06s produced in the intro year.

Laguna Blue and Elkhart Blue are indeed very close, and with the Kalahari interior would look near identical to yours. Fantastic color combination and also with the red calipers. Thanks for photo.
