Default Sweet C8 Z06 poster in GM “New Roads” Magazine

If I can get it flattened, I might be adding it to my wall of framed art in my garage.

Cool… they wanted to create an aspirational car that would have kids and kids at heart hanging the posters on their walls. Job well done GM!

I’m glad I thumbed though it before throwing it in the recycle bin. It’s going in my son’s room next to his autographed C8.R poster

Is That New Road magazine specifically for Corvettes ? I just got mine and issue 21 has a blue pick up on the cover and NO corvette poster. I was a little pissed....

Yep I just got one too. Need a frame. Have this at my local Walmart. I'm going to check it out now.

https://www.walmart.com/ip/Mainstays..._LIA&gclsrc=ds
.
Poster measures 27 7/8" wide by 20 3/4" tall.

Edit: Well I botched that one. The poster is 24" Wide x 20 3/4" Tall. I'll make it work.

it wouldn’t cost much to go to hob lob, buy a piece of boarder stock and cut it to your size.

True. You mean black to match the Z06 poster? I just flipped over the sample poster that came with it. Easy to swap it out. I don't want to block the Z06 logo at the bottom. Maybe I'll just black out those two white sections on the right and left.

That is because it is PittRace. Just before the C8/Z06 Ad shoots I had my C8 at PittRace with Chin Track Days and I think some of those tire marks on the track are from my C8. I am still finding rubber marks from tires on my C8 from that warm September day at PittRace.

A lot of excitement over a free poster, got mine and flame me but I tossed it because of the color not a fan of yellow.

If you are interested in making it look a little nicer, Michael's can press and mount it to foam core, the folds will be 95% less visable.

I did this for a folded race event poster from 40+ yrs ago and it came out very nice !

Good tip! Beats mounting it in a frame that doesn’t fit!
