As of March 30, 2010, new vehicle dealers are required to make available to prospective purchasers information regarding comparitive insurance costs, based on damage susceptibility and crashworthiness, for makes and models of passenger cars, sports utility vehicles, light trucks and vans.

The report is "Comparison of differences in insurance premiums based on damage susceptibility" -- which means the average payment from the insurance company to the owner for the Collision part of the insurance policy.
If you do not purchase Collision coverage or your insurance company does not use the HLDI information, your premium will not vary at all in relation to the rankings.

In short, on a scale of 100 basis points, Collision coverage on a regular Corvette insurance costs them less than average - only 88 points.  On the other hand, a Z06 has a "collision loss experience" of 206% - more then double the average.
Both Corvettes are listed on page 11 of this report:
The report is available at http://www.nhtsa.gov/staticfiles/administration/program_development/2010_Comparison_Insurance_Costs.pdf

Crash Worthiness is a different thing.  Test data relation to a vehicle's crash worthiness is available from HHTSA's New Car Assessment Program (NCAP).

Keep the Sunny side up and the dirty side down!

Have you seen this car? This 1959 was stolen from Bonnie Bohart's garage in Newport Beach, CA. VIN is J59S102113, License Number is 4YVM250. One of their stolen cars was found in Norco, CA.
If you see their car please notify your local authorities.

Whether for insurance purposes or you just want to know, you can check the Kelly Blue Book value of your car... which is probably less than any trade-in value you'll actually get.

When the 2006 Corvette Z06 was introduced, it represented the closest connection to the Corvette race cars ever. The 2009 Corvette ZR1 closed the gap between racing and production even further. This year, Corvette continues its tradition of track-to-street technology transfer with the 2011 Corvette Z06 Carbon Limited Edition.

The Corvette Z06 Carbon Limited Edition is another example of the expanded Corvette line-up. Five years ago, customers had the choice of a Corvette coupe or convertible. With the addition of the Z06, Grand Sport coupe and convertible and ZR1, Corvette enthusiasts now have more choices than ever.

The 1992 Melon Metallic was originally built as a Black Corvette with gray interior. GM took the Corvette from the assembly plant and did a test shot of the new color to test it for future years. GM never produced any other Melon Metallic Corvettes after this Corvette. Chevrolet made several different hues of Gold cars over the years, but this is the only Melon Metallic Corvette.

This special car is now on display in our Skydome, and is on loan to the Museum from Mark and Sheri Pieloch of Lincoln, NE. Do you have a sweet ride you'd be willing to loan us for display? Visit our website at www.corvettemuseum.org/display to learn more about this unique opportunity!
