My Birthday Present-C3 Poster
A present from my Brother. Laminated and ready for the wall in my home office. I am sure many of you have seen this drawing of 1978-79s. It is very nice!

Re: My Birthday Present-C3 Poster (paul79)
Thanks for the birthday greetings. Very much appreciated! It is a lovely poster, especially from a family member. But back to trivia ;) . There is something incorrect in the drawing. What is it?

No, Maurice. What you say is true but it is a drawing and things are not entirely in perspective. I am looking for factual mistakes, assuming a stock 1978 body.

Re: My Birthday Present-C3 Poster (Maurice)
Yes, that is correct. In 1978 there were three versions: the base, the Pace Car and the Silver (25th) Anniversary. The car in the foreground is an Anniversary Edition (silver on silver) but has the Pace Car spoilers. That is incorrect. Only the Pace Car had them in 1978. In 1979 those spoilers became RPO option D80 as seen on my car. Thanks for participating. It is becoming more difficult to fool you C3 people with trivia but I will find something.

Re: My Birthday Present-C3 Poster (paul79)
nice poster, i haven't seen that one before.
i'll take a stab at your trivia, but i saw two things i thought were wrong:
1) prior to '80 i thought all aluminum wheels had a black ring around the lugnuts.
2) there is no rubber strip under the chin spoiler.
just throwing those out there, i have no idea if either are correct

Re: My Birthday Present-C3 Poster (paul79)
For those who are interested, and just to close the thread, the label on the poster says Flashbacks 2001, Series 1025. It is just a paper poster that I picked up at a cruise night and now is nicely laminated for framing and hanging on a wall. I do not know the copyright source.
