Default Any good C3 ads you can share?



The C3 ads never cease to amaze me for some reason. (especially with my car now snoring in hibernation). Others may also enjoy these legacy ads, some of them masterpieces in their own right. Post `em if you got `em. Any with a C3 in them count. I will click a `thanks' for every one with a C3 in it -- again, hoping others might enjoy the creative legacy ads that built the brand that helped draw us to our wonderful hobby.
I'll take the first crack at it...

Could anyone that has the whole magazine please post which one and what issue any of these adds can be found in.....? I see tons of old magazines at antique stores but I have yet to find any Corvette adds. I know some of the above adds were dealer handouts, I have the exploded view 72 add.

Steve, seems that you and Thread Baron share similar tastes.

My favorite so far is the yellow 1980 C3 ad. The car is pretty darn nice, too...'
