I am interested in that schedule, too! This will be my first Corvette since I sold my '64 in 70....

You ordered a convertible? if so, what colors did you choose?

 

[Bob Dyble]

I chose Red/Red/ I want a saddle top, but Chevrolet insists I will have a black one....
When writing a check for that much I thin I ought to get what I want not what they want to give me....
BUT I am sooooo excited about the C6 !!!!!!!!!!!!
What color are you going to get?
