Beautiful car, nice poster, good ideas from others . I might add - Please, Do not touch.

However, nothing I know of on the face of this earth can stop people from asking stupid questions.

I just have to mention the person that looks at the car and says, I had one just like it in high school, except mine was red, and it was a 72, but it was just like it.

Ricks327 post reminded me of my mistake. Had a car show sign made up and it was too big to comfortably put it in the car without the worry of scratching something. Put it in a box and the box and display tripod were quite challenging logistics. Along with a couple of lawn chairs with the hardtop on and rag top stowed. It mostly sits at home now. Mark

@Vette60 look at any GM sales literature and you will note they called them quick take off wheels

So, I went and found the 1966 Corvette Sales Brochure on-line. Funny to me, it mentions the wheels available both ways - as "quick take-off type" and as knock-offs wheels. Here's the snip:
And on the following page, it had this:

Beautiful car.
I enjoy interacting with enthusiastic people. Even the ones who ask stupid questions.
Even more fun is just sitting back and listening to them talk to each other about your car, as one tells the other all about it. It is often very amusing. Just the other day I learned my Corvairs A/C condenser was a radiator, for instance.
If answering questions annoyed me, I would just stay home.
