Happy Monday Corvette fans!
Hopefully you all had a great weekend! We are still plenty warm here in Florida with a high today expected at 92 degrees. But the weather is getting noticeably nicer now that Fall is officially here. There are still plenty of great events to get your Corvette out before winter arrives and I hope to take advantage of the cooler temps myself over the next couple of months.
Earlier we covered the overall numbers for C7 Corvette production. When you break the numbers down by model, new trends appear. The Supercharged Corvette Z06 debuted in 2015 and a total of 39,940 Z06s were built in the five-year run.
2016 was the peak year for Z06 production with 14,275 leaving the factory.

Thanks to the generosity of a Corvette enthusiast, the National Corvette Museum will be a proud participant next weekend in the final car show ever to be held on the aircraft carrier USS Lexington.
Bill Thomas and his wife, Sharon, who made a trip to the Museum immediately after purchasing their 2016 Z51, paid the registration fee for the NCM to participate in America: The Car Show that will be held aboard the USS Lexington on Saturday, Oct.
The Chevrolet Corvette was born as a convertible and the drop-top models were the most popular for the first 17 years of the Corvette’s formative years. It wasn’t until the third generation and specifically the 1969 model year that a Corvette Coupe would outsell the Convertible models, and they would do so until the Convertible’s demise in 1975.

Here’s your opportunity to honor a man who has played a big role in the success of the National Corvette Museum over the past nearly quarter of a century.
A retirement dinner for outgoing Executive Director Wendell Strode is planned in the NCM Conference Center on Nov.

We’ve only see these hybrid mules once before, but at least they are easily identifiable as they are still wearing camo and have a unique front electrical connector and a shut-off switch that protrudes through the front quarter panel.
A shoutout goes to Warp Factor on the Corvette Forum for spotting the car yesterday in Ann Arbor, Michigan:
Why is this C8 still in camo?
