I thought some of you historians might like these. Nov 1974 my Dad was ordering a new Vette via the GM discount program. Selecting options suitable for a daily driver.
Alas, they pulled the plug on the orders.

Bill, that's very interesting paperwork. It sure appears that the 1975 Corvette was in high demand.

I had a college roommate in 1975 and his dad bought him a new Camaro under this plan. It was a basic V8 Camaro, but very nice. He had to hold on to it for the allotted time before he could sell it.

I'm surprised he didn't opt for the L-82?

That surprised me as well. I roughly remember he tried to get a 74 as well. Green 454 convertible. There was a set number allotted for each division and Dad was last on the list. Then they brought in a new exec and he wanted a Vette and Dad got bumped. As of last week, Dad at 92 still remembered that guy’s name when I brought up this old paperwork lol.

It was after these failed efforts he started buying used ones we’d fix up so ultimately that became a much better outcome.

Those papers should be in the Corvette museum

I bought a 76 Corvette on the employee discount program. Black with red gut. I have pics of it around here somewhere. Discounts back then amounted to enough that you could balloon finance the entire purchase price & sell the car for a profit after the waiting period.
