Q on the Richard Prince copyright L88 in blue with white stripe. I recall the rear stripe spread but not the front hood extending out to a point. Was that stripe applied to all L88's? And did all L88's stripes come to a point in the front? Or one of a kind?

And the black & white pic immediately below. Is that owner of Konner's that you worked for?

That car and that particular striping was made specially for the #1 Corvette salesman in the Country back in the 1962-1972 era. From 1967-1972 he got a new Corvette from Chevrolet every year to attend many track events in the California area.

Default Brembo, Baby!!!

Really looking forward to the new color pallet for 2018.

Continue to hope for some kind of Pearlescent White...... like Cadillac and most GM SUV's have had for years now.

Your J57 Brembo Carbon Ceramic brake optioned 2017 C7's continue to fly off the Criswell Chevrolet "on the ground" inventory. Any idea how many you currently have remaining in your inventory? You must have more as well inbound from the last of your stock inventory orders incoming through early June.

Otherwise known as...... Old Fartosis!

Seriously, we saw the ZO6X at our annual Corvette Car Show here in Prescott, Arizona back in 2013. (This is the show in September, 2014, that Furman flew out from Maryland on a Friday afternoon, and flew back to Maryland on that next day Saturday afternoon).

The ZO6X (yes, a Gen 6!) was a "one off" provided by GM, and was painted a flat Pearlescent White. Had a very distinctive appearance, and we always thought that a clear gloss Pearlescent White would work on a production C7. Hopefully, Furman will give all of us the updated new color pallet for the 2018's from the NCM Birthday bash...... that will be painted in the new Bowling Green paint plant.
