Well the day has finally arrived: The 2017 Chevy Volt goes into production TODAY! Regular readers of this blog are aware that my first Volt was a 2012 that was leased. The lease ran out in August of last year. Fortunately, we had gotten a 2014 Volt for our daughter, Zoe. She has her learner’s permit but no driver’s license yet, so I’ve been driving her Volt, until I could get a 2016.
Then, General Motors dropped a bomb. 2016 Volts were NOT coming to Texas (or another 38 states). I had been offered a chance at getting a 2016 by GM, but that fell apart in late December. My 2017 Volt was the very first ordered by Classic Chevrolet and had the #1 priority, but oddly, one of my customers will have their Volt built this week, while mine is slated for the week of February 15th. Oh well…
I ordered it in Silver Ice Metallic paint because the wrap company said it would be best for the metallic green wrap I want to do.
Stay tuned. I’ll keep you posted!
March 2nd. Has your Volt arrived?
As of this morning, it is in the Dallas / Fort Worth area. It’s been unloaded from the train and is in a shipping yard, awaiting a truck to bring it in to the dealership.
