    I think it's weird how every add back in 1968 called it the new 1968 Corvette Stingray, but no one said hey let's put the badge on the side???. And because of that most people these days don't consider it a Corvette Stingray because it doesn't say it on the fender, even though it was designed after a stingray And mako shark...?

    • @C3Stingray
      @C3Stingray  3 роки тому

      What is even weirder is that I cannot find any explanation as to why it was not on the fender. I think it was just an oversight. Production standards on the Vettes weren't the greatest when they were in St Louis.

    Sadly from 2030 on all combustion cars, trucks and busses including classics will be banned from public streets in entire EU and Scandinavia :-( In Germany the Green Peoples Party gave order to shorten fuel supply from 2025 on by reducing petrol stations to only one state operated central gas station per city or county. From 2027 on in the EU certain car spare parts will be banned too....as exhaust systems, turbo chargers and even some engine and gearbox oils...California and New York will do the same from 2027 on.... So no investments should be done in oil burning cars any longer....They even created a new kind of crime here, called emissions and smoke crime... :-(
