Thanks for posting a great pic. Notice the seat belt hanging out the door of the top/front blue vette?

Whenever I see a pic like this it always makes me wonder if one of those cars belongs to a member here.

Is it just me or do the white stripes on the tires look wider than we are used to seeing ? For comparison look at the width of the stripe on the red stripe tires on the white coupe. Shouldn't the red and white stripes be about the same width ?

Redlines with thin whitewall tires behind it. Only '68 & '69 C3's could be ordered with red stripe tires. The Corvette Black Book lists Red Stripe and White Stripe tire options. But there never were any White "Stripe" tires with stripes of the same width as red stripes. They were narrow white wall tires, as you see in that pic.

"Largest single shipment of Trans Am AAR Cudas in the US"

Cedar Rapids Iowa.

28 cars total.

Tony D'Agostino owns a blue 70 Superbird sold at First Avenue.

First Avenue sold 15 total so there's a fairly good chance that that car is this car

Which brings it back to do we know the owner of any of those vettes on the train?

Probably not, but we can come pretty close in the case of that car.
