Default Louvers

Hi I recently picked up louvers & need some help figuring out what corvette years it will fit. It does not have a maker that I can see, the middle section is made of aluminum & the sides are plastic. One picture shows some rough measurements of the louvers, I was hoping someone could provide the dimensions for the rear window of a 78-82.

FWIW: if these are C3, they will fit only the big back window cars, 78-82.

60"???? (I was a draftsman so maybe that is just how I measure)

The 33" is right but the 60" is strange to me. Did you wrap the tape around the surface? Maybe more like 50" horizontal?

The 60" is a straight line measurement from the underside of the louver from side to side, I will double check when I get home tonight.

the photos can be deceiving, but although they look just like C3 78-82 rear window louvers, Im thinking this set is actually for a C4, as they look wider than a C3 to me.

Then they will not be for a C3.
