Default Are the front fenders higher on a 78

I am confused about the post about how 78 - something Vette are the coolest looking because the fenders are so high. My 73 fenders seem high, are the 78 different or is this guy really confused.

I suspect it's just because the things look so much bigger from the driver's seat. When I first test drove a vette, I couldn't believe how much those fender humps intruded into my field of vision. Don't even notice them now, of course.

I notice my fenders in my 71 everytime I drive it because is is so :cool:
I love looking out my front windshield because of the fenders. New cars today have no personality like our sharks...you cant even see the hood on almost any new car. Vettes rule :D

I agree with Ganey. Fender height for all Sharks is essentially the same.
