I haven’t heard anything but I did notice that GM has also sent a similar gift to buyers of the Cadillac CT6-V and CT6 Platinum with the Blackwing engine in the way of a 3D printed scale model of the twin-turbocharged 4.2L V8.
I would hope that they continue the welcome gift.

If anyone has purchased a C8 and has not received their welcome gift you should call GM Canada. I picked up my C8 over a year ago and have not received mine. I called GM and found out that if you are on the national do not call list with CRTC you will not receive one because it is a marketing promotion. The person told me to let anyone else on the call list know they will have to call GM to receive it.

From what I heard from an insider at GM is that all welcome gifts are delayed due to a parts shortage and a production line upgrade . They are considering a second shift, as customer demand is outstripping supply. GM has further cut back on “gift allocation” for both the 2020/21 modeI years . I am sure Conti will have some breaking news on this situation with a thorough explanation and some beautiful rides. In the meantime we must all be patient, as the wait is clearly worth it. Stay tuned .

It was either Tadge Juechter or Harlan Charles that said on Steve Garrett's Corvette Today podcast that GM would be extending the welcome gifts to 2021 purchasers.

 

[Rebby]

Just an FYI. Since I purchased my car I moved to a new address. My dealership and GM Canada have my updated address. The gift appears to have been sent from GM US in Livonia Michigan. They did not have my updated address but fortunately the new owner contacted me about receiving the parcel. I did pay Canada Post to reroute all my mail but apparently they missed this one.

Got mine today. Car was delivery in November of last year.

I'm still waiting for my photo album. Car was built end of January. Anyone else waiting on one?
