Hello Troy, and welcome to "the Family" ! The Registry has all of the convertibles documented that were used by the IMS Festival committee and in the pre-race IMS Festival parade this year. But our information to date is somewhat lacking on the non-parade vehicles, other than knowing all the Vins of the cars used there, build dates, etc. But we are working on building out the missing information on how they were used at the track. Needless to say, #29 was not used in the parade and was a "track" car instead of a "Festival committee" car. All this means is that it was used either by someone at the track, or a local "official", and not by the Festival Committee members or used in the parade. A "completely" documented car would have come with the following items : - Indiana "event" license plate that was worn on the rear
- Event car number and "Flag lot" parking windshield decals
- In the glove box, should have been the GM transfer paperwork that indicated who the car was assigned to, along with information on which company to contact for a replacement CORVETTE windshield header if needed
- A small photo book with 4x6" event photos, and any other individual photos that may have been taken by the people who had them that month
- Event car number underneath the rear license plate that matches the number on the windshield
- And I am trying to confirm, but there should have been a keyfob with a numbered disk that matched the event car number.
Last year, GM was mailing out a package to the first owner of record of these cars that contained the license plate and photo book. I'm not sure what is happening now, with the state of GM and where that material is! Please feel free to go to the "Contact Us" page on the website and contact our 2008 Director, LaVelle, who may be able to help you further, but for any more detailed information, we only offer that to dues paying Members. Have you already, or at least considered joining the Registry - it's only $25 annually and gets you a lot of benefits. Also, did you get your original window sticker? If not, visit the National Corvette Museum and follow the link to purchase a reproduction of your specific window sticker. They also have ORIGINAL Build Sheets for 08 that GM just dumped in their laps to sell. Ask for Betty if you call them. Stay in touch, and hope to see your name on our Member list soon! |

My car is #15 - decal on the lower left windshield, behind the license plate, and on the transfer document for use at the Indy 500 - and there is a brass disk with a "15" attached to the key fob. |
