Classic Corvette Ad: Superiority Complex
I was born in '74, and the C3 is the first generation Corvette I remember seeing. So this '68 spot really did it for me... I might have to actually buy it off eBay.

I still can recall the day I went with my dad to the chevy dealer. He bought a new 68 impala wagon, 327 cu in engine. Well, the camaro and corvette had this kids attention. Those ads remind me of that day.

I am confused - Is that a '68 or '69??? I see the "Stingray" script on the fender ('69) Hard to tell if a '68 push button on the door. The left and right front grills "appears" to have the chrome edges, and I always thought the early model '68 had the driver's mirror located towards the front of the door and was pushed back later in mid year. But then again - I am NO EXPERT!!!
