Default 90 vette: evil stepchild????

I just bought a 90 convert and I'm looking in these parts and accessories catalogs and I notice a wierd trend. most everything is for a 84-89 or 92-96. Am I missing something???

that's the stupidity of the catalog writers.

for interior trim, 1990-1992 is very similar.

for exterior and engine, 1989 should be fine.

Most parts for '84-'89 will work just fine on '90-'91, but it depends on what your looking at. I know they have some different sensors than other years. What is it that your looking for exactly?

The 90 is a " tweener ". In the middle of an older design and newer style. A few items are unique but I always seem to find what I need. Just have to search a little harder.
