Corvette Production Weekly Constraints – 9/20/07

[Rob]

Constraints are distributed based on Available Days’ Supply (ADS), Controlled Method or Percent of Allocation (POA). Dealers can use the weekly constraint wire to see the basic availability of an option. The percentages on the weekly constraint wire are estimated based on the national retail number of the constrained option divided by the amount of retail orders being allocated for the week.

Re: Corvette Custom Leather Wrap Interiors

Date: September 20, 2007


Due to a material shortage at a key supplier, we are forced to restrict Custom Leather Wrap interior orders to zero until further notice. This applies to any order specifying either option package 4LT or 3LZ.

Please carefully review any previously, prioritized orders destined for placement, and either change or reprioritize your orders as required. Custom Leather Wrap interior orders cannot be processed, and a pattern order could result.

Thanks for the update hardnoks!

That's disappointing, GM finally offers a killer interior ( saw at Carlisle ), and now can't deliver! C'mon guys!

I really liked the 4LT interior and tried to order it. After waiting for several weeks, I decided that I wanted the car more than the 4LT interior and switched my order to a 3LT with 2-tone interior. That got delayed by a constraint on F55. Finally got the car built and it got caught in the latest parts SNAFU at the plant. After replacing the part, it is supposed to be on a truck heading my way. I sure hope so as UAW is not striking every plant in North America.

If you want a 4LT car, you're probably going to wait until 2009 MY.
