Default What's the biggest flat screen that will fit in a coupe?

Thinking about getting up early tomorrow and join the rest of the crazy people down at Wally World. Can I put a boxed 46" TV in the C6? Anybody hauled a flat screen in their Corvette?

I'll bet no. Got a friend with a truck or SUV?

The box my 46" Walmart tv came in measures 36 x 51" and
18" high.

the box will be very large. When I worked at Best Buy some people would just take them out of the box. Good luck finding someone to help you with that on Black Friday.

I put LG 42" LCD tv with box in my C6. I think 46" might fit too.

It may fit, but be prepared to tie down the hatch because I doubt it will close.

So, did it fit? Was there an issue with laying it flat?

I brought home my Samsung 46 inch in my coupe but had to tie the hatch lid down with string and pad the back with a blanket where the box was resting.

The factory NAV screen is about 6". If you go with the 46" screen, it may obstruct your vision through the windshield.

when I first read this I thought you wanted to put a TV in your car and I was thinking... well I guess a 32" will fit, but you won't be able to hold a passenger anymore.

It will fit if you fold it just right.

i'd say don't even try it, unless you don't care about messing up the paint around the trunk area.

I use my corvette to pick up liquor, that's about it.
