that fourth gen looks so much longer then the 5th gen. the front bumper was at the curb and still hung out way past the rear of the 5th gen. those are all for sold orders for that dealership, or display cars? and how did 1 dealership get so many cars in the first month?

The most efficient way to distribute cars via truck is to send one truck to one dealership. Somebody has to be first.

It's not like the truck is going to drive around to all of the Chevy dealers in a region and drop off one Camaro at each, and then do it again and again and again until they've met the full allocation for each dealer.

The 4th gen was sitting way away from the curb. The 5th gens were hanging a little over the curb.

that pic is actually a lil deceiving . due to angle/distance that it was taken. couldnt pull up to the curb closer as i didnt want to scratch or bump my front bumper! they are actually about the same size in length. just that 4th gens have so much overhang that it plays tricks parked next to the 2010. those cars sit up pretty high. the car looked considerably larger than my zq8 colorado .

so what if a dealership only has allocation for 3 or 4 cars? their gonna just deliver those 3 -4 cars? so maybe half, or whatever number , of those were for customers and the rest are for stock for the lot?

I believe that's Lonestar Chevy on the northwest side of Houston.

I imagine they'd fill up the rest of the truck with Impalas.

it's sad, but I was checking out the '93 in the pics just as much as the 5th gens doesn't help me in convincing myself to spend $35k
