Corvette enthusiasts rejoice with a hint of disappointment! Chevrolet has unveiled two stunning limited-edition C8 Corvettes, the CERV I and Heritage, but there’s a catch – they’re exclusive to Japan.
CERV I: A Blast from the Past:
The CERV I pays tribute to the 1959 Chevrolet Experimental Research Vehicle (CERV), the visionary single-seater that paved the way for the Corvette’s mid-engine revolution. It boasts a head-turning Silver Flare Metallic exterior with bold blue stripes, echoing its historical inspiration.
Heritage Edition: A Timeless Classic:
The Heritage Edition throws it back to the very beginning, honoring the legendary 1953 C1 Corvette. A sophisticated Seawolf dark gray exterior sets the stage, accented by vibrant Edge Yellow brake calipers and sharp 20-inch five double-spoke wheels.
Modern Muscle Meets Classic Charm:

My sales manager at that time, was Mike C. On yet another sunny and perfect day in Orange County, CA, he took a call from a tipsy guy who claimed he had a ’67 (Sunfire) yellow Corvette convertible with a black leather interior and a 400 hp 427.
Wait, it gets better. Imagine a 400 with AC, automatic, and A. I. R. (smog pump), a convertible with full power options, headrests and a vinyl hardtop missing as well as the center caps on what looked like original Kelsey Hayes aluminum wheels. Pinch me, am I dreaming?
Missing? Yes, he claimed

Take a look at this fresh photo of the new Corvettes at the Corvette Assembly Plant, poised for dispatch! At first glance, it looked like a snowy landscape, but it turns out those are brand-new Corvettes cloaked in their shipping covers, all set for delivery to dealerships for customers. It seems like Jack Cooper Transport might be struggling to keep pace.
As we welcome March, it’s an opportune moment to review some production insights and assess our current status. For these discussions, we refer to Roger Kiel’s Unofficial Production Estimate.
Early in the month, the plant ran some overtime shifts, and just this past week, production exceeded 200 units on several days. The E-Rays are on an upward trajectory, with 30 units produced during the week of February 19th, though this week saw a dip to 15 units through Thursday.
