Batch of White Export Corvettes

[DavidWP]

Yesterday two friends and I were on the 1:15 pm tour at the Corvette Plant and spotted about 5 or 6 export C-6 Coupes (repeater turn signal lights on the front fenders, amber rear side maker lights, red/amber outboard tail lights) and, amazingly, all of them were white! Since white is generally a rare color, I wondered if an export dealer was doing some kind of promotion with a graphics package that used a base white car?

Anybody have any inside scoop?

They should be so lucky.. IF they get high speed cars, it's usually Porsche's..

In Germany, they are known as the "White Mice."

Sorry, but the White Mice is a reference to the Police Motorcycle Drivers escorting VIP Guests, as they used to wear white leather uniforms..
(see here a link to the german wiki page: http://www.bub-toys.de/images/Spielw...inepolizei.jpg )

As to white police cars, they USED TO BE white/green, such like this:


Now, they changed colors and went silver/green first, then silver/blue.. Makes them harder to spot for people used to green and green/white.


Would be interesting to find out whether they were destined for Europe.
