Default Is that brand new?

How many times have you got that question about your C3? I've had it about three times. Obviously always from people that don't know anything about cars and they are mostly from older people.

Yup, I keep it very clean. That's what I do in my spare time, clean the Vette. I find it relaxing for some reason.

I pulled into a Chevron for gas with my '63 a while ago and this guy walks over and says "Wow, great car! What year is it, like a 1935?"
He missed by three whole decades! :lol:
