April here? I thought it was July.

Sorry.

Great looking car, April. I love 3rd gens, especially with that wing on the back. There's an interesting story behind that wing and how it ended up on those cars. The man responsible for it was Chuck Jordan who at the time was GM's Vice President of Design. I work for Design Center here in Michigan and had the chance to strike up a conversation with him shortly before he retired in 1991. He told me the inspiration for the wing on the Camaro came from the Ferrari F40. In addition to being head of Design Center he was also a weathy car collector and owned a stable of Ferrari's, including an F40.



Anyway...thought that might interest you.

Welcome to the site.
