If you like your Corvettes “low and wide”, this rendering from @MonacoAutoDesign via Instagram should be right up your alley!
Brian Monaco is the designer behind this render and he explains that it was actually purposed first on the C7 Corvette and then decided to move it over to the C8 platform.

The world turned upside down for the owner of this C7 Corvette last week, literally.
The car, apparently a 2019 Grand Sport, wound up on its top after an accident on April 16 in the town of Kamloops in British Columbia, Canada.
“I knew it was a brand new Corvette,” said Troy Grant, platoon captain with Kamloops Fire Rescue.

English aficionados may have spotted an irregularity (or several, who knows?) in Quick Shifts this weekend, specifically on third gear which was dubbed “isolation interviews” but only contained a single digital sit-down between the fine folks at SportsCar365.com and Corvette Racing Driver, Tommy Milner.
The column originally featured a second link to the Hagerty Media site but we decided that their video guest deserved a standalone shout out on your favorite Corvette blog.

Thanks to a GM workbench leak a couple weeks back, we learned that two new exterior colors will be headed to the 2021 Corvettes with Long Beach Red and Blade Silver expected to be retired. The new colors are called Red Mist (GPH) and Silver Flare (GSJ).
Up until now, we’ve only seen a representation of a paint chip for Red Mist, but the good news is that the GPH exterior is also featured on the new 2021 Cadillac Escalade that was recently unveiled.
Criswell Chevrolet’s Mike Furman delivers new Corvettes to his customers who come from all across the country to work with the nation’s top individual Corvette seller.
This week’s delivery report from Mike is a fun one for us to post as he puts the delivery spotlight on two new Corvettes that have connections to us here at CorvetteBlogger!.
