Our Corvettes can be so unique to people whom have never had the pleasure of seeing one up close.

I was at BPAmoco yesterday and a man walked up and said ... WOW you put a flip top front end on that thing!

I love the gas filler because I can go either side of the pumps while others have to wait for their side to be free !! :thumbs:

Also, although the vette is a low car, it's the only car that I don't have to bend my aching back to hold the fuel nozzle while filling - another :thumbs:

The attendant also said "I've never seen a car that you put gas in like that".......I said "its not a car, its a Corvette" ;)

This is showing my age, but in the 50's a lot of cars came out with some of the strangest configurations to access the gas tank. Some had chrome trim under the tail light that opened outward like a door ('57 Chevy, I think) and I think the Pontiac had a similar set-up. On my '62 Ford Galaxie, the license plate flips down to expose the gas tank inlet. The Vette is cool, because it's set up like the race track cars, be it Indy or stock cars, where you could use the gravity fed "can" that they have in the pits. The gas station attendants used to have to ask the customer where the tank inlet was at, because there were so many variations. So what's so funny about that? I don't know. I just thought it was interesting. I'm soooooo lonely. :lolg: :lolg:
