Earlier this week we offered up a Corvette production update that was based on what we hear happening through our dealers and the NCM, and it does look like the rumors we heard about TPWs for 2021s falling to the week of September 13th were incorrect.
Last night, Chevrolet sent out a Consensus update to its dealers and they are saying unequivocally that 2022 Corvette production is now scheduled to start the week of September 6th.
Many a Corvette enthusiast has no doubt dreamed of owning a 1957 fuel-injected Corvette someday.
