This also brings me to an interesting question. The Vette book ended with the car leaving the development phase and entering the production phase. They mentioned that the first cars off of an assembly line are typically white. But the first few C5 Corvettes were red.
So maybe Scott can tell us (if it has even been decided yet)...
What color will the first production Camaros be?  |
It depends on WHICH cars off the assembly line you're talking about.....
Early Alpha and Beta cars are hand built -- many of the metal ones are white for many reasons - but one of those reasons is for corrosion testing -- which of course is accelerated -- you can SEE the corrosion on a white car -- inside the panels and such......
The next cars are IVERS -- again -- mostly hand built.
Early non-saleables come off the line and can be any number of colors....
IVERs and Non-Saleables have an 'EX' at the end of the VIN and cannot be sold.......
The 'saleable' cars have regular VIN tags and can be sold --
I'm hoping the first one will be Red...............to match the last one off the line at Ste. Therese -- the last one off the line at Norwood, and the last one off the line at Van Nuys..........
