Re: [Amc-list] Long lived model names

[Matt Haas <mhaas@xxxxxxx>]

I don;t know if that was the year or not (I think it is) but it's not 
that there weren't any of that year, it's just that there's *one* of 
that year. It's on display at the National Corvette Museum in Bowling 
Green, KY. BTW, this is a pretty cool place to visit. I stopped there 
with one of my nephews back in 2003 on the way home from Power Tour and 
we both enjoyed it.
