While I do love the back end of the early C3 Corvettes.......there is a styling / design note about the back end of the rubber bumper cars....and that is, as noted in Tom Falconers books on C3's.....the recessed tail light design matches the recessed speedo / tach dash design.....I think that styling connection is pretty cool. Here's mine....

Original owner was a commercial pilot based at PDX. His license plate frame is still on it.

Sold new in OR and stayed here the whole time.
