Default Looking for Specific C5 Photograph

I am looking for a photograph of the rear of a Corvette C5 prototype that clearly depicts the blue Michigan manufacture license plate. Any help appreciated.

Not sure what you mean by "prototype" - the pics of "x" model year before the car is released to the general public? Or pics of the real prototypes with the wraps on them and such? Or like this?

Maybe there is a corvette engineer who is a member of the forum? I am sure the pics exist.

This one will do for me if I do not get any others. I remember the white C5 spy shots with the coverings all over them and one that showed the rear of the car and the plate. THANKS TO AL OF YOU!

Hey you want white, you got it. I have expertly changed the color using advanced techniques I cannot explain here. No charge to you, my Corvette forum pal!

Damn I'm good. I am a combination of Albert Einstein and Cecile B. Demille. I bet Chevy is thinking "C7 Designer" and looking up my number right now.

I cannot reveal the proprietary technological solution involved, but you are damn close. Think "STP" and "White Out" in a controlled mixture, applied directly to an LCD screen. A daguerrotype imprint is then made of the transfer, scanned to digital and converted to high definition. This mask is taken to a Corvette dealer for final output to the Internet.

Thanks for the morning laugh! Sounds like a patent opportunity. Now you just need to invent the glasses that put it all back in focus.
