Sunday, July 31st, 2011

The amount of business we do on the internet and out of state continues to grow. A couple of 1st timers and we thank them so much for their trust and business. Drake flew in yesterday and while taking his congrats pics, took the opportunity to palm my head…I thought I was getting dunked! smiley-laughing33.gifActually he was so nervous we had a blast delivering this car. His dad a huge Chevy buff was to come with him, but was unable. Drake never told him what he was getting, his dad knows it’s a Chevy..but wait til he sees it’s a Chevy CORVETTE!!!!!!!!!

FINAL- 2011 Corvette Production Numbers

Thursday, July 21st, 2011

2011-corvette-production.jpgFinal Corvette production numbers for 2011 are in folks, a little better than last year as we finished with a total of 13,596 Corvettes produced!

I get my butt busted all the time from some Corvette folks for ordering our inventory so heavy in automatic…check this out - This year 62.64% of all 2011 Corvette made were Automatic…take Z06/ZR1 out of the mix because they are ONLY 6 speed manuals, then the number goes to nearly 72%.
