Default Does anyone remember the '78 superbowl?

Does anyone remember seeing a Cowboy's edition '78 special edition Corvette at the end of the '78 Superbowl? Does any old Dallas resident remember seeing one at any Dallas dealership on display? I'll appreciate any input! Thanks.

Let me check... I'm 18, it's 2002. 2002-18=1984. 1984>1978 which makes me way to young to know! Car looks nice, but I don't like the paint.

I'm guessing that that car is supposedly the superbowl edition that you're asking about? Looks pretty good though.

Yes, I've been told that, but my husband swears this was a special edition. If it was a modification, it was really well done, is all I can say. We're trying to find out about the origin fo this car, hoping someone who originally owned it will be able to shed some light on why it is so different. :yesnod:
