I did not appreciate the uniqueness of the 73s until I bought one.

Awesome photos, they (and that magazine) seem to be in very good shape

I've read that Chevy tried to get these aluminum rims on the C3 in '73 but it took them a while to get the quality right. These photos must must have been taken when they introduced the rims that didn't make it to the dealer... nice find

The GM photo archives has that same 1973 corvette on a green grass field. Beautiful photo. It can be orderd in 5 dfferent sizes from the GM archives. I have one framed in my garage. Note the rare 73 center grill with the leading edges chromed.

OMG!!! I don't care what anyone says. 1973 had that best of both.
Beautiful looks. The contrast of the rear chrome and soft nose, and the availabitly of L48 L82 and 454 BB
Build quality, and safely standards improved and just an overall GREAT CAR! LOL

That car in Yellow with those rims looks mint
