Corvette Accessory Appearance Packages
General Motors has announced two accessory packages for the new Corvette. When dealers place their order for a new Corvette, they can elect to order one of two Genuine Chevrolet Accessory Packages.
These packages allow customers to order the accessory kit and have them installed on their new Corvette. The accessory package may be installed by the local Accessory Distributor Installer (ADI) or the dealership.
Dealers must order option code VPK or VPL to qualify. Additional information was published in the Chevrolet "Hot Sheet" on how to order these packages.
