The rear window is plastic, you can buy them with glass though if you so desire.

in 1994 Chevrolet started putting glass windows in the convertibles to inculde a defroster grid. My 87 has a plastic rear window so I do not know how you store it. I have seen an article in one of the Corvette mags showing how to retrofit an older C4 to the newer glass window. I'm sure an experienced upholstrey shop could do it for you if needed.

Triple black is a common term for a convertible with black exterior, black interior and a black soft top.

Triple Ruby is also a nickname for the 40th anniversary convertibles. The 40th package in `93 was only available in Ruby Red Metallic exter. & inter. All 40th soft tops were also Ruby Red.
