The months are flying by as we close in on the reveal of the next-generation Corvette which happens next week on 07.18.19. This is a pivotal time for dealers who are working hard to secure their allocations for the C8 Mid-Engine Corvette by selling as many C7 Corvettes as possible.
We know from the launch of the C7 Corvette that Chevrolet utilized the last full year of C6 sales (2012) to determine which dealers would receive priority allocations for the launch of the 2014 Corvette. In fact, Chevy used the sales of C6s in 2012 to set the allocation for the first nine months of C7 sales. So you can see how important it is for dealers to continue selling the 2019s as fast as they can.
We haven’t been made privy to exactly how far back Chevrolet will go in looking at C7 Corvette sales to set the allocations for the C8, but we would pay special attention to these dealers in the Top 50 for the first half of 2019, as well as look at the Top 50 Corvette Dealers of 2018 which we published back in January.
Now, just because a dealer isn’t in the Top 50 doesn’t mean they are not going to receive allocations for the C8 Corvette. For the C7 launch, Chevrolet required a minimum of just four Corvette sales in the year before, so our guess is that even smaller dealers will receive allocations for the new car during the first year of production. However, if you want to be driving the C8 Corvette in the first year, these are the dealers we would be paying special attention to.
If you have seen our Top Corvette Dealers lists in the past, you know that more Corvettes are sold outside the Top 50 from all the combined dealers that didn’t make the list. You should always go with the dealership that you are most comfortable with during the buying process. We just like to share which dealers are selling the most cars in your area as these dealerships tend to have greater on-site inventories as well as allocations available for your custom orders.
We have several dealers who sponsor CorvetteBlogger and they all sell new Corvettes at (or below) MSRP. If you’re in the market for a new Corvette, please check them out and go with the one that makes the most sense for you:
- Kerbeck Corvette – Atlantic City, NJ – Dave Salvatore – 877-537-2325
- Criswell Corvette – Gaithersburg, MD – Mike Furman – 301-212-4420
- Les Stanford Chevrolet – Dearborn, MI – James Fillmore – 313-724-1416
- Bomnin Corvette – South Florida – 305-697-5732

And yet Rick Conti from Coughlin doesn’t get an invite to the reveal. Bad move GM.
they shove it to you on DOC FEES! bring K-Y JELLY.
I knew Kerbeck would be # 1 again & again. Im not far from there.
Tell Rick to buy a Harley and self invite to Milwaukee Fest. Probably a lot more enjoyable with a party atmosphere.
Wow, only one dealer in the North West and it’s in WA. I’m in OR and it sure seems like the locals sell a lot of new Vettes, maybe not.
The top award for most sales per capita should go to Merle Stone in Tulare. Have you been to Tulare? I think he’s selling a Corvette to every other person that lives there! 😉
