So My father in law has a friend in the Lancaster ny area . He goes to his garage and strips down c4 every wed. So he can part the cars out. Any ways He told me on the c 4 they have stamped into the body under the carpet. A pie, hotdog, baseball bat and the chevy emblem. I am still waiting on the picture when I get it I will post it. Is c4 the only years they did this

Nowhere Man

Now THIS is a piece of trivia that I can use! Thanks for sharing this. I remember the ad campaign, but had no idea they did this. I wonder how many C4 forum members know this.

Nowhere Man

That was my picture I posted years ago.

buffaloc3

Is that on the c3.

Nowhere Man

no it was on a late C4. I took that picture on a striped down 92? at Corvettes at Carlisle about eight years ago

buffaloc3

My father in law said that they have been doing this from the beginning . I was wondering if any one new if it was true. His friend that he helps only deals in c 4 parts.

Nowhere Man

beginning of what? that campaign didn't start until the late 70's

buffaloc3

The corvette 1953 . You know how things gat started sometimes . wondering if its true

lowbuck72

That ad kinda makes me miss my old Vega Gt.

Nowhere Man

Nope the phrase as American as hot dogs, apple pie, and Chevy did not start until the mid 70's

buffaloc3

So is it stamped into the c3

Nowhere Man

Couldn't tell you never looked at a late C3 that's been striped down. And to clarify you can't stamp fiberglass or in the case SMC It's part of the mold

buffaloc3

Well I just did a web search and the only thing I found on it was. 89 to 96 behind the passenger seat above the speaker mount on convertibles.

Nowhere Man

Well there you go. But it's on coupes too

buffaloc3

Well if your picture was on the driver side on a coupe . Maybe there is more to this story. Anybody know anything else about any other years
