When I was a kid my father had a buddy that owened a chevy dealership in Troy N.Y., Bumstead Chevrolet. (not there anymore).he had a factory built promo car that was an early ('68-'69,'70) vette stationwagon. it was pretty cool. I've seen two of them in person. I'll see if I can find a picture of it.

That's pretty cool but I think it is newer than the one I was talking about. perhaps they build some every year for awhile. That looks to be in the '80's. I think they were awarded to the dealerships as some sort of reward. It had his lot name painted on the back side windows. It was two tone black and white with red pinstripeing.

I think you have it. that looks identical to what I remember with exception to color. Thats a '70 stingray right?

Hey George,

Actualy I was doing some drawing and it looks almost identical to that just slightly wider stantions and a little shorter. I was trying to incorporate the factory C4 wing that I have. (I will be molding that also if any one is interested in one for their C4), with the moveable side, turned downalirons/stabelizers attached slightly lower on the sides. and since your C3vette has a detachable rear bumper cover/tail light housing I was thinking of molding it as one piece so you wouldn't have to ruin your rear fenders to install it with the inner braceing extending down to the frame inside. I will send you the drawing as soon as I figure out how you can view them.(Auto Cad).After all it is for you and the final discision is up to you. Is the rear bumper cover on your '80 the same dimentions as a '74?
