hi im buying a supposedly # matching 68 vette it has chrome fins on the front quarter panels but also has chrome water grills at the bottom of the front wind shield and chrome louvers on the back just in front of the gas cap ...have never seen this before ...does anyone know if these are factory options or after market things???
kind regards
Rod

Welcome to the Forum!!! Good luck with your C3 purchase. Never seen or heard of those items on a '68 but I'm not an expert. Enjoy the car and the Forums.
