On Sunday August 24th at the 2008 Corvettes at Carlisle at the Carlisle PA Fairgrounds a 1996 Collector Edition Corvette will be given away to one lucky attendee. This particular Corvette is special, rare and valuable for many reasons: 1996 was the last year of the C4 Corvette, the Collector Edition adds style and value to the Corvette with Sebring Silver paint, special trim and interior and ZR1 style 17-inch wheels painted silver to match. The Collector Editions in 1996 also only comprised 25% of total production with 5,412 units built. (View Press Release)
