I blew up the picture and tried to count the total number of cars as best I could. The number is approximate, because up near the factory doors there is ambiguity with shadows and equipment, but it looks like there are about 712 in the entire picture:

599 in the neat rows in the main lot, plus 1 on the transporter cut off to the left.
27 at the right, lined up perpendicular to the main set.
About 85 or so up near the building.

Sorry, but requests for numbers of each color will be disregarded. Can't tell the darker colors apart at this resolution anyway.

You got that right...color is messed up pretty bad. I can't fix it. Get rid of the pink and a lot of it goes green.

Great seeing lots of C7s ready to head to dealers for owners to really let us know the real poop

It's a lotta cars, but really: is that 500 to 1,000 cars? I didn't count them, but it looks like less cars to me.

Yes I took the picture. I'm sorry the resolution was not better but I had an old camera that's about shot and it was very hot,hazy, and humid yesterday. We can't get closer than 1000 ft above the ground and its right on the approach to the BG airports main runway so looking for airplanes, flying the plane, and taking pictures is like juggling with your hands tied behind your back. I'll take a friend to do the flying and a better camera with good zoom next weekend if they are still all there. For what it's worth. No mine is not in there, it's a vert.

Yeah. There's a lot of C7s there. I counted the first 8 rows and the ones on the right and got to 214.

Wrong. Wrong. It was yesterday and just so you can see notice the Motorsport park under construction just across the interstate.
