Default Corvette in a Condom??
Went to the Volo Auto Museum this weekend which actually turns out to be the Volo Classic and Collectors Car Lot Saw a lot of Great old iron and one particularly interesting peice of plastic. I call it the Corvette in a condom. The Pace car for the 1978 Indy 500. a total of 9 original miles on the Odometer and a price tag of 58K which I thought was really short money considering its history and condition

That is the best looking Corvette pace car by far. I was selling Chevrolet then and the attention that car drew was crazy.

The CONDOM can be bought from California Car Cover, they have a web site. It has a small motor and curculating fan to keep the humidity controlled.

Glad to read about the fan. Could have been counter productive otherwise.
