We live a few blocks from one of those auto rows — a string of car dealerships including Pontiac, Saturn and Hummer. My husband goes by them on his daily walk, and he came home the other day and told me one of the dealers had moved, leaving an empty storefront with 2 interesting-looking cars inside. They sort of looked like Corvettes but weren’t. Yesterday I walked over with him to check them out…
The back said “SV” and “9 Campetizione,” so we took a picture and headed home to look it up in Google. This blog says it’s a “a re-skinned C6 Corvette with a touch of Italian flair” and it’s set to debut here in San Francisco this weekend, then have an unveiling at the Concorso Italiano in Monterey in mid-August.
It’s not often you get to see a car before it’s been debuted — even if it is behind a dirty store front window! More pictures and info here. And click on our “spy photo” above to see a bigger version.
