Damn, checked the numbers. Looks like an L-48 design. I thought they were L82!

You can always mod them for more speed!! I hear Doctor Sholls makes great suspension parts for those.

I was waiting for someone to see the era logo. And this is not a joke. I purchased them (two) for $19.95 a pair in size 13.

Default Genuine Chevy

I baught the Chevrolet "G" string for my lady, it only had crossed flags in the front though. I guess the Chevrolet engineers concidered the race was won if you reached that spot!.........

That logo is definitely not C3. When NIKE puts out a C3 pair, I'll buy them.

Wait a minute I diden't see Turtle or TT make some crack about how this is OT and how we must split the Forum since no one knows how to use the scroll bar. Wow people must be lightening up in their old age.

P.S. Paul I'm proud of you and your OT Post, give e'm hell.
