Yes, Using the Corvette Crossflags really surprised me on these 2 4 cyl metal cars. One is RWD and the other is FWD. I also recall that when Chevrolet introduced the new Camaro they said something to the tune that the Camaro is the Future of the Sports Car at GM... With the way that the Corvette just keeps getting more and more expensive, I think, the long term future for the Corvette is in question...

They also put "Corvette" cross flags on the 1960 and 1961 Impalas I owned.

The 58 Impala was probably the first full size that had the crossed flags on the trunk with the 348 engine. The 283 had the Chevrolet badge with the bowtie in the V. That pretty much continued into the 60's. The Crossed flags have been used outside the Corvette line for a while off and on.

Fugly does not begin to describe it. It looks like the cross between a Subaru, Infiniti and Ronald McDonald's clown car.

Taking it for its intended purposes, I don't hate it.
