Can you believe this jerk parked next to me?

He knew you took care of it so he wasn't worried about his doors being nicked either.

I fixed it for you.

You mean there were corvettes without concealed headlights?

I'm gonna say '59 too. All of the 58 stuff has been addressed and I think (not positive) that 60s had painted headlight bezels.

100gold has it right.

I believe this is good karma, given a choice I always park next to someone who I can tell is a car guy like myself. I'm doing him a favor (giving him 50% door ding protection) and I believe he will do the same for me.

Unless he was a real snob (I've heard some Corvette owners can be...) I'm sure his choice of parking spot was very deliberate, and a compliment.

Car guys like to stick together. He knew your truck was obviously owned by a car guy.

I will go with the fact that the Vette's hood is smooth, without the louvers, so I will say that it is a 1960. The tail end on a 60 is the same as the 58 and 59 models, and they have dual headlights. I have a buddy that has one.

how could you tell? i looked the pic over well and I couldnt tell if it had singl or dual headlights

[caminokid]

I look at it like this.... It could have been a FORD instead of a kick a$$ Vette! There would be no complaint from me!

overpriced, and over appreciated. No doubt they are nice cars but I'd take that truck over that vette, but that's just me. I don't like the pretentiousness that comes with vettes. I don't like camaro's or Nova's either. And yes, every corvette owner i ever met was a snob.

You can tell (at least if you are familiar with 56/57 vs 58/59/60).

The 56/57 fenders are rounded on top, to match the single headlamp. 58/59/60 fenders are broader across the top, in order to accomodate the dual headlamps. You can also set the indent (feature) in the top of the fender.

Trust me; you can tell.

Call me a snob, but I would be happy to trade titles with the owner of the Vette.

[bigsnookmaster]

That right there is a Chevy truck, with the Corvette option! I would bet he also owns the Z06.
