[VIDEO] Walk-Around the 2020 Corvette Stingray Convertible at the SEMA Show 2019


We’ve featured one of @docprego’s videos previously where he did a walk-around of the VIN 001 C8 on display at the Barrett-Jackson Las Vegas Auction. Here’s another walkaround video of his featuring the Rapid Blue 2020 Corvette Stingray Convertible on display at the SEMA show.

We love the convertible and any chance we get to ogle the new drop-top Stingray is an opportunity we are going to take advantage of!

Plus, we get to view the new Rapid Blue exterior indoors. It looks so muted here under the florescent lights of the Vegas Convention Center compared to what we are used to seeing it when it’s outdoors, but I also find that’s part of the appeal of this color. Day or night, indoors or out, it’s a very unique color.
