So I already Got My Model
#61
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I knew there was a term that best described the “model”… I thought it was weird it wasn’t a model of a IMSA race version or something interesting. But with no wheels, windows, or any other details it’s a Blob. Painted to match your car so at least it’s a color coordinated Blob 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

It's supposed to represent history because it's a model of the first full scale clay model of the C8.

Just curious, do they change anything (the inserts or packaging) from model year to model year? Or do they keep them all the same? (I know the model itself stays the same)

Just got my FedEx shipping notice from Chevrolet Fulfillment. My model arrives 2/28/24. Took delivery of my White Pearl 70th HTC on 12/5/23. This seems to be the average now, so if you are way past this I would start making calls if you care.

I have already made a call a month ago and still no model. Oct 28, 2023 delivery on a 2024 car.
Guess they don't like me but just take my money.

I got mine about two weeks ago, and I had taken delivery in November of 2022. So around 15 months or so.
It’s a nice gesture by GM. I haven’t had anything similar come my way from BMW, Porsche, VW…

I got the notification yesterday. Car was delivered in Aug. 2023. I sent an email to the Corvette Concierge in December, then followed up mid-February. They told me there was no update, but something happened in the last 2 weeks.

For those that bought their C8 pre-owned and want a model...there is a very simple solution. Look on eBay or Facebook Marketplace for someone selling the model that represents your color and body style. I bought mine for $125. Now as you know each come with the VIN and year engraved. To remedy that, I took mine to a local Trophy shop and had him make me a new plate. I also wanted mine to say "Z51" instead of "Stingray". So now it has my correct year, my VIN and my customized verbiage...its officially 1 of 1...

Arrived today, really cool. Looking for a prominent place to put this. I feel like I'm in the movie A Christmas Story. The wife doesn't understand my "major award". "I thought the major award was in the garage" was her comment. lolol

Hmm mine still shows a label created two days ago after I first noticed it on my FedEx app.
I have no idea what the hold up is. New transmission or they ran out of Arctic white paint at the fulfillment center.
