How about a visual reference to describe the current shipping situation at the Corvette Assembly Plant in Bowling Green?

Every time we visit Bowling Green, we always make a point to drive past the Assembly Plant and then follow the service road around to the back side where you can see the vast parking lot where completed Corvettes are stored as they are awaiting to be shipped. When we were there at the end of August for the NCM 31st Anniversary Celebration, the STOP SALE Order had been in effect for just one week and the parking lot was just starting to fill up due to no Z06 or ZR1s being shipped.

Now exactly one month later, I see these two photos from our friend Rick ‘Corvette’ Conti who shows that there are so many Corvettes are ready to be shipped that they are now having to park them single file on the service road that goes around the assembly plant. As far as security goes, the gates are locked, and it appears there is a security guard posted in a car at the front of the line.

We have been blogging about the Corvette for 20 years now and I can’t recall a time of ever seeing this many completed Corvettes in their white transport covers awaiting shipment. However, the good news is that all these cars do have the spilled fuel diverter part in place and now are just waiting their turn to get shipped.

Earlier in the week, another friend of ours shared these photos to the MidEngineCorvetteForum.com showing that the parking lot for the new Corvettes awaiting R8C Deliveries at the National Corvette Museum was also full after receiving new Corvettes that have the new spilled fuel diverter part installed. Due to the stop sale on Z06s and ZR1s, none of these Corvettes could be delivered until now.

If you are one of those customers waiting for your Corvette to either be shipped to your dealer, or to have your R8C Museum Delivery planned, stay patient as you can see just how many new Corvettes we are dealing with.
