Dean, the November, 1989
Keepin' Track Of Vettes with its article "Rick Mears Receives the Very First ZR-1!" just arrived and I am attaching a scan. It confirms what you found and adds some further details.
Per the article Mears' car (#18), presented to him on the morning of August 30, 1989, at a special ceremony on the production line (stopped for 45 minutes for the occasion) wasn't the first production ZR-1 to leave the plant. The first was #19 awarded to Rick Hendrick at a banquet the previous evening. Mears was non-production Penske yellow while Hedrick's was black. John
