Is it solid or Vacuum formed?

Do you have any ideas if this will be extended to 2021 Corvette buyers?

I just received a notification from FedEx that I have a package coming. The “FROM” doesn’t match Jeremy’s shipping label. FedEx says it’s coming from:

GM / Archway MKTNG SVCS / 10060
6703 Haggerty Rd Suite B
Belleville, MI 48111

Not sure what it could be. Doubt it’s a model of my C8 order because I’m a March allocation and I’m still at 3000. Has anyone else received a model if their order is still at 3000?

(Edit - never mind. I’m pretty sure this is just a 2020 Corvette brochure I requested a while back).

I received a FedEx note too. I'm suspecting that it may be the 2020 showroom brochure.

I feel like I am one of those cavemen at the beginning Space Odyssey 2001 looking at the monolith. What is a speed shape and what is its significance in sending it to C8 buyers?

It's similar to what GM calls their "frogs" which are small models used to show off new paint colors. The significance is just that GM has previously sent some sort of Thank You gift to buyers of new Corvettes and this is what they came up with for the C8.

I showed a picture of one to my wife and she said, well that's ugly. I'm still looking forward to getting mine, should be soon, I got my thank you card and a note that it was coming.

it is Sebring Orange. The guy said the common colors sell for about $200, and less common are in the 350-375 range. First one I saw on ebay....
