Default Question.
Do all corvettes have this? its visable if you duck down a little bit. It looks like this.

Is this normal? I just have not seen it before on any other vette.

Nothing under my '78 like that. The car cover tie down idea makes sense.
I think she wants to go for a ride, blow off them spider webs.

Could it be a mounting bracket for sidepipes?

It looks like a support for an exhaust/tail pipe hanger - the ones that have a "L" shaped piece that slides into the support shown then gets atttached to the pipe with a "C" yoke clamp.
