The latest GM sales numbers have been released for the 3rd Quarter of 2021 and sales of the 8th generation of America’s Favorite Sports Car have never been higher!

GM announced a total of 10,166 new Corvette deliveries have taken place during the months of July, August, and September making this one of the busiest three-month time periods in recent history. That’s a 60% increase over the same time period a year ago!

For the calendar year-to-date, Chevrolet delivered 24,748 new Corvettes from January 1st through September 30th for a 95.9% increase over the 12,634 that were delivered during the time period in 2020.

The Corvette Assembly Plant has been on a roll lately despite the challenges of dealing with COVID and the supply chain issues surrounding the semi-conductor shortages. Since the last plant closure occurred in May/June, they’ve been able to remain at near full production capacity throughout the summer and into the fall. This week, the assembly plant completed their 3,000th Corvette for the 2022 model year which started production on September 8th.

Our Corvette Sales Archives will be updated in January 2022 with the release of GM’s official 4th Quarter 2021 sales numbers.

From the official sales release:

DETROIT — General Motors Co. (NYSE: GM) dealers delivered 446,997 vehicles in the U.S. in the third quarter of 2021, down 218,195 units from a year ago as a result of semiconductor supply chain disruptions and historically low inventories.

During the quarter, GM provided an update for investors that its wholesale volumes in North America in the second half of 2021 would be down about 200,000 units from the first half, largely because of supply chain disruptions in Malaysia caused by COVID-19, with most of the impact occurring during the third quarter. GM’s financial outlook is still expected to be within the calendar year guidance range previously provided as the company continues to develop solutions to mitigate the impacts of the semiconductor shortage and Chevrolet Bolt EV recall.

“GM has been agile and decisive in managing COVID-related impacts on our production and wholesale volumes and we appreciate the support of our dealers and the loyalty of our customers,” said Steve Carlisle, executive vice president and president, GM North America. “The semiconductor supply disruptions that impacted our third-quarter wholesale and customer deliveries are improving. As we look to the fourth quarter, a steady flow of vehicles held at plants will continue to be released to dealers, we are restarting production at key crossover and car plants, and we look forward to a more stable operating environment through the fall.”

The Chevrolet Corvette, the best-selling vehicle in the luxury sport segment, increased sales by 60 percent. The all-new 2023 Corvette Z06 will be revealed on Oct. 26.
