Default Car show information!?

I am planning on showing my "03 vert this spring, rather than answering alot of questions I would like to have a fact sheet printed up eg. how many built, weight, length, fuel ecomony etc. and post it on the car, informative and entertaining. Does anyone know if there is a link to this info. already done and just has to be printed off? Thanks, Rob

You could buy a Corvette Black Book from the Corvette Museum. www.corvettemuseum.com

You can go to the corvette museum and order a duplicate window sticker showing all the options as well as their cost. This is brand new, printed in color and can be framed to lay on the dash or wherever. This will be specific to your car and will contain your vin number as well as the dealer where the car was delivered, etc. You can also get a copy of the build sheet for your specific vehicle. I think I paid about $80 bucks for this paperwork. It's nice to have and I suspect would add some value at sell/trade time.

Good Luck

This is a cool idea! Any pics? Was the build sheet $80? I already have my window sticker and might frame that.

By the way I found a frame, exactly the right size with plastic (not glass) at my local Wall-Mart. I put the build sheet under the window sticker (easy to get to).

I don't know about the coupes but there is just enough room behind the passenger or driver seat in my 02 convertible to store the frame.

Whenever the topic of your car comes up in conversation you can just whip it out!

BTW, I notice you're from Canada. I was single and living on a boat in Ft. Lauderdale long ago and was hitting on the tourists, some from Canada during spring breaks.

Been married to a gal from Toronto for the last 25 years. Be careful who you chase they may catch you!

Good Luck with the documents!

I didn't know that. I don't even remember seeing any fire extinguishers at shows, however maybe I just wasn't looking for them.

The only time I've ever seen anyone look for that was when the car was entered in a special class for race cars and the class requirements stated that the car must be displayed in the same setup as when it is raced including all safety gear. However, that is a major exception to typical car show rules.
