The Malcom Konnor cars are neat. My 85 used to be the silver/gray two tone, but is now C7 Shark Gray metallic.

Are you sure you meant 1985? Your picture shows a 3rd brake light (1986 & up) and 1988(?) wheels. Was yours changed?

Silver and gray are great colors on a C4.

Here's my 1985 in Medium Gray Metallic ...

This might be a stupid question, but what is with the sign in the picture ? I get "Chevrolet-Pontiac-Canada Group", but what about the "Corvette Plant" sign below that ?

I did not know that. I've never seen any car built before 1986 with a 3rd bake light. Yours is the first 85 Corvette I've ever seen that way. Interesting.
