Default Classic Corvette Ad: Superiority Complex

I was born in '74, and the C3 is the first generation Corvette I remember seeing. So this '68 spot really did it for me... I might have to actually buy it off eBay.

Check it out, and let me know if you have another favorite Corvette ad!

My favorite has to be the one where the narrator says " America still builds rocket ships" . It is relatively new , showing a white ZR1 smoking around turns, it gets my attention ! Peace,,, moosie

I still can recall the day I went with my dad to the chevy dealer. He bought a new 68 impala wagon, 327 cu in engine. Well, the camaro and corvette had this kids attention. Those ads remind me of that day.

Here is another favourite '68 ad that I have hanging on the wall. Lots on flea-bay cheap. They look great framed.

But then again - I am NO EXPERT!!!

Not that clear a photo but ad says '69 so I assume that's what it is.
