Default Corvette Flag Positions
I'm bored. On the crossed flags, I've noticed some places I see the checkered flag on the left, and some places it's on the right. Is there some rhyme or reason for that?

Seems like the older stuff has the checkered flag on the right, and the newer stuff on the left.

Since the American flag is on the right, wouldn't that make you a Republican?

Well obviously you didn't donate enuff to the Republican National Committee. Those of us who did got American flags on the Corvette emblems on the special edition red, white, and blue Vettes that were given to us for our support.

Republicans EARN the flag - and GIVE them to the democrats - or they would whine cause they didn't have one!

Official GM mark = checkers on the left.

Many aftermarket companies get around officially licensing the GM mark by producing a flag that isn't an exact duplicate.
