Default C3 or C2 stingray logo

Hey everyone - I ordered a banner for my garage. Really liked it Bc it had a yellow ‘75 on it - which is what I have.

looking at the stingray emblem and font below ... isn’t that for a C2 and not a C3? The printer said they would redo it for me if that’s not correct ... before I shipped it back wanted to check w the forum to make sure y’all thought that wasn’t right. Thx!!

Sting Ray as two words was always C2.

Thanks! That’s what I thought. New C3 owner here (as of last week) so just making sure that was incorrect like I thought.

The flags and the design behind the Sting Ray words is also midyear. Nothing C3 about it.

I'd have them remove "C3" as well.
If you know the year of the car you don't also need to put on a generic generation name that didn't exist when your car was new.

To finish my venting, for some reason I can't stand when a thread starts off "I just bought a 78 c3....". As opposed to a 78 c2, or a 78 c4?

(And get off my lawn!)

Did you see the story posted in C1/2... “1962 C1 convertible” ?

Its almost as though there were ‘62s that weren’t C1s. Or convertibles.
