How do you know that? The wagon wheels were available from 97-99. Those are the only year specific things I can see on this car

1997. It was a giveaway poster for the launch of the C5. The back side should have a red coupe as well. I used to have at least 20 of them but they were were tossed by my mother at some point in the last 24 years so I recently bought a new one from the museum.

That's a cool poster. Just ordered one too for my new to me garage when I retire.


Edit: I guess I should have remembered what the post said....he's giving it away. Maybe I should have spoken for it before I went shopping. It was only $3.99 anyway and I bought some other things too so it wasn't a total waste.

It's amazing the things you learn on the forum. I'll take it out of the frame and look at the reverse.

Really nothing special about the poster, but it does make for some good garage wall art.
