The original emblem (one of which is in the NCM) was replaced right before the Waldorf Motorama show that introduced the Corvette with another; the American flag became red with the Chevrolet emblem but that didn't seem like enough. Someone in Detroit figured that since "Chevrolet" was a French name and the fleur-de-lis was French looking...viola! |
I have that in my arsenal as well! Took the picture a few weeks ago at the Z06 Fest. Sooner or later I'll get around to posting some of the others.
