I guess it depends on what school you went to!

I don't remember wings at my old school, but I do like the car

I'm guessing that's early '70s. Lots of "now and wow" from back in the day on that car. Flares, deep dish slotted wheels, one piece grill, and yes that wing. While it may look out of place now it was the HOT then.

Looks like a 69 to me based on the gills and Stingray emblems.

Lock-n-load...might I suggest a good eye doctor to make an appointment with? The white Corvette in the first post clearly has chrome bumpers front and rear! That combined with the aforementioned Stingray emblems above the 68/69 fender gills makes this a 69. It also has a short hood which further confirms this.
