I was told that your dealer had to request it for you from GM. It was a nice surprise. Fed ex dropped one off about 4-6 weeks after I bought my GS in Feb 2013.

Along with the package the letter stated that it came a one years membership to the corvette museum . The letter had two GM general managers names and my dealership's general managers name. My dealership is Ginn Chevrolet in Covington Ga.

My '13 will be a year old next month. I'm still waiting for mine. I bought from Tommy AND did the museum delivery.

A nice little extra from Chevy for sure.
I got one after I bought my 11 base coupe. I didn't want to bust the bubble of the GS guys. Let them think they are special.

I got mine after contacting the dealer. He at first said that he did not know what I was talking about. He checked and several months later I got mine. Picked up my 2013 base coupe in June of 2012. I could not find it when I searched, but there is a thread that shows pic's of the book.

Bought mine a month ago and still haven't received one. Of the 4 new C6's that I purchased, I received 2... '11 GS Cpe. and '12 Cpe. I guess it is random thing of who get's what or anything. Personally, I think if they do this.... everyone who purchases a new Corvette should get the handbook and and the Coffee Table history of Corvette book.

PS...Never got the Coffee table book on any of them!

Got mine a month after picking my 13 GS from Tommy Jr. Nice touch by Chevy (and I know BMW does send similar stuff too). Great packaging, but a bit much for the little guide inside. But I'd love to see that coffee table book . . . missed that one.

I think Tommy Jr. Had something to do personally on the coffe table book...

Congratulations!! I have owned 3 vettes (2 were purchased new from dealer), and have never gotten SQUAT from the dealer or factory....why are some selected to receive these goodies while others are not?

I got one 4 weeks after purchasing my 2012 in May. Car came from Les Stanford in Mi and shipped it to TX. I have always gotten something from Chevrolet when I purchased. My SS Trailblazer I got a Key chain, My Camaro I got a Pen and the Vette I got a book. I am pretty sure the dealer has to put your name in the system for whatever is the going thing to say Thank You.

Just to satisfy curiosity for those who haven't seen, anyone care to post a picture?
