This post has been updated to reflect an update we received from Chevrolet regarding Japanese ordering of the C8 Corvette
When Chevrolet’s designers and engineers began laying out their goals for creating the C8 Corvette, they made sure that the new car would finally be available as a right-hand-drive model that would be offered for sale in markets that include the UK, Australia, and Japan.
The emotional connection between a man and his Corvette is hard for some people to understand.
Not for 23-year-old NASCAR driver Erik Jones.
It may go against the purist tradition, but we’ve always felt that the ’53-’55 Corvettes look so much sportier without the factory hubcaps.
Case in point: this 1954 custom convertible that will go on the block at the Barrett-Jackson Auction in Scottsdale later this week.

The auction world turns its focus from Kissimmee to Scottsdale this week as Barrett-Jackson kicks off.
There is a ton of excitement in the air as the first retail 2020 Corvette Stingray will be offered with the proceeds going to charity. But VIN 001 isn’t the only new 2020 Corvette on display.
The Callaway Cars name is known far and wide for its high-performance Corvette variants and other specialty sports cars over the years, but you may not know that Callaway offers similar supercharger upgrades for GM Trucks and SUVs. So when we hear calls from Corvette enthusiasts clamoring for a Corvette-branded SUV, we say “Well, what about Callaway?”
![[PICS] First Look at the Personalized Interior Plaques for the 2020 Corvette](http://www.corvetteblogger.com/images/content/2020/011320_23b.jpg)
One of the cool personalized options that C8 Corvette owners can choose is to have a personalized interior plaque with your name that is displayed inside the car.
You can order one as a standalone option with option BV4 which will cost an additional $200. That version is the plaque at the top of the photo. Buyers who opt for the R8C Museum Delivery will automatically receive the plaque on the bottom which features the NCM logo.
![[VIDEO] C8 Corvette Stingray Named 2020 North American Car of the Year](http://www.corvetteblogger.com/images/content/2020/011320_7c.jpg)
Well, the accolades for the mid-engine 2020 Corvette Stingray continue to roll in. Today the C8 was honored as the 2020 North American Car of the Year (NACTOY). The Corvette beat out the reborn Toyota Supra and the Hyundai Sonata.
I still remember the first Corvette I ever drove – a 1978 Corvette Light Blue model on the used lot of a Marietta, Ga., Chevy dealer in the early 1980s.
Though I was in my early 20s, I had already built up an intense relationship with Corvettes since my early youth, even subscribing to Vette Vues magazine in the ninth grade.
Each week, Criswell Chevrolet’s Mike Furman delivers new Corvette Stingrays, Grand Sports, Z06s and ZR1s to his customers who come from all parts of the country to work with the nation’s top individual Corvette seller.
As we come to the end of the C7 generation, Mike shares some of his own throwback photos to when his dealership received the final batch of 60th Anniversary 2013s. When other dealers didn’t want them, Criswell took them all and guess what, every single one of them was sold to a happy buyer! In this week’s report, Mike shines the spotlight on an Elkhart Lake Blue Corvette Grand Sport. And speaking of throwbacks, Mike also shares a couple photos of Mr. Frank Class who purchased several Corvettes from Mike over the years and who the throwback portion of is weekly posts is named after.
