Shipping Data for my 68
Official production date was 11/17/1967. So happy 43rd birthday.
The dealer was Anderson Motor Co. in Marietta, GA. A Google search only shows a picture from 1930 so I guess they are long gone.

Hi Brad,
How come these cars get better looking as they get older and we.... well, we don't?
Regards,

I get dressed in the dark now so I don't have to see what condition my condition is in!

I have had similar thoughts. That's the downside of owning these cars for a long period of time. I bought my 68 11 years ago, when I was a younger man. Now I am older, look older, and the vette looks pretty much the same as it did when I bought it.

Sounds like we all need a frame off restoration.
