Final 2006 Corvette Production Numbers

17628

Now that the 2006 Corvette Model Year has ended, the Bowling Green Assembly Plant has released their final count of option penetration for the year. Just over 34,000 Corvettes were produced for the 2006 Model Year. 49% of production went to coupes, 33% Convertibles and the hot new Z06 accounted for 18% – 6,272 units total. No big surprises with exterior colors. Corvette owners still prefer Red Corvettes. The two shades of red, Victory and Monterey, combined for 32% of production. One out of every five Corvettes is Black. The least produced color is Artic White with 4.7% penetration and the now discontinued Daytona Orange Sunset Metallic (DOSM) came in at 5.1%. One of the hot options available is R8C Museum Delivery where the new owner can take delivery of their Corvette at the National Corvette Museum in Bowling Green Kentucky, just across the street from the assembly plant. For the 2006 Model Year 1,172 new owners received their keys at the NCM. Here are the major options in their respective categories:
