Default Corvette factory question
Was just looking at the corvette factory on Google
Do they only make white cars or are they all c8s undercover?

Just like C7s (not sure about earlier generations) all C8s have a white cover for shipping.

If that is Google's satellite view, those are probably early C7s.

GM is racist. The black ones are in the back lot and only every 1024th one is red. The yellow ones are all parked sideways.

I'm guessing every manufacturer wraps their cars for shipping. When I'm in the Port of Houston, I see cars all the time being unloaded....they rip off the covering on the windshield, but leave the rest of it. Seems a little dangerous, but they do have plenty of folks blocking traffic, etc, so I guess that makes up for the lack of visibility out the sides and rear.

They took the wrap off of mine, and I STILL can't see out the sides or the back. Oh well, I still love it.
