No Cars In Midwest
1 - 20 of 29 Posts
It depends what boat your car came on. The cars on the first ship, that arrived in US on Oct 17th and the cars are now getting to the midwest. z51vette, just got his yesterday. It took them about 29 days after to make it to Michigan from when Headrat filmed them coming off the boat in California.
By what you were told, I sounds like your car was on the second boat, which got into Cali on Nov 5th. Since your car in the US (only two ships have arrived) and the first ship's cars left Cali a few weeks ago, your car being on the second boat seems likely.
Based on the first ship's distribution timeline within the US, your car will probably make it to the Midwest in early December.

This is correct and its 2 weeks in inspection give or take a few days. My car left Ca. on Oct 30th and arrived at dealer Nov. 14th. One member in Az. got his on the Nov. 11th same shipment.

The first ship had almost 600 SS's and a few hundred Caprices. That was the initial production run of about three and a half weeks. The second shipment was only two weeks production and I would estimate about 300-350 SS's and maybe a hundred Caprices. The third shipment should be larger than the first because production wrinkles should have been ironed out. And it was for a full four weeks of production. The fourth shipment was for two weeks production, so probably 300-350 SS's. These ships carry other brands of cars at the same time. The first ship went to Port Hueneme after Benicia to deliver other brands. The second ship went to Portland Oregon to drop off other brands. The ships of 650 feet (199-200M) length can carry about 4500 cars.
Mid-Atlantic States Delay?
The SS my dealer had on the first boat had an expected delivery date 11-15.
It did not show up as of today.
He called and was told it was still on a railcar in Cali !!!
... and mine is still at 3100 which is where I hope it sits until after the summer shutdown.

That sounds strange that it would still be in Cali.

I agree something is off Headrat would see train with cars still sitting. The only other thought is that shipment #2 has some cars headed that direction.

Dexter (LaFontaine) Chevrolet has the Mystic Green and a Black one. Headed there today to have a look. I see Marty Feldman has two silver and one black listed on their site but no pictures meaning they probably don't have them yet. Moran Chevrolet just popped up with a red one too! Really glad to see these hitting the dealers here in Michigan however the timing certainly sucks given the weather of late!!

It took me quite a while to warm to the green. I actually like it a lot now however think it is better suited to our Calais and Caprice. I think the PPV is available in that green now
