Bright meaning?
looking through some 72 features related literature and noticed "Bright" as describing grilles, etc.
is "Bright" another name for diecast/cast aluminum/chrome/... or brand/manufacturer or ad lingo for shiny or ...?
following is cut/paste from literature...
"Bright precision-cast grille o Front bumper guards o Bright front license plate frame o Bright windshield molding o Functional front fender louvers with bright accents o Bright roof drip molding o Body sill molding o Wide-oval F70 x 15 blackwall tires with 15' x 8M wheels o Bright wheel trim rings and center caps o Bright rear window molding"
curious, never seen this before?

The term bright is merely a shortened version of "brightwork", which originated hundreds of years ago in reference to the polished metal (later varnished wood) on ships and boats. Coincidentally, the use of bright and brightwork is apropos to the meaning of corvette.

Yup, "Bright". Advertising lingo for shiny stuff.
