This two-page article from a mid-1977 VETTE magazine issue actually shows how in-flux the design still was. Before going to assembly, the colours changed, the front fender name decal changed, the rear spoiler changed and, of course, the tires changed. Oh, and the number to be built changed too.
I've been around Corvettes for a long time too, Norm. 52 years, to be exact.
