Paragon Corvette didn't "go away"...they were acquired by Legendary Companies who also own Coker Tires and Wheel Vintique. Long Island Corvette was bought by Zip Corvette and then Zip was, also, acquired by Legendary Companies. Corvette Central was acquired by Top Flight Automotive.
More than you asked for but now you know.
no corvette Central was too acquired by Legendary Co and then merged CC and Paragon into CC.
My mistake. Top Flight acquired Corvette Mods. I'll amend my post
well the last couple of years there has been a lot of acquisitions of resto parts houses that changed the landscape of the repro parts as we know it. good or bad it's not like the way it was 15 years ago. but we should be thankful we have as much as we do
Hey guys,
I took these pictures of a vette my dad was looking at last November. I noticed it had paragon rear bumpers. I don't have any experience with original vs these repro. Dad did purchase this car, but I have not been around it much, as it is in another state.
The bumpers looked good to me, but again, ive never owned a C2. I can just provide you guys the pics I took.
These bumpers were put on sometime in the early 2000s. I suspect the 1203 on the sticker is a date code, Dec 2003.
The rears do look very good. I would be curious (for future benefit to others when searching the forum with a similar question) as to the fitment of the front bumpers. More specifically, highlighting the 'area of concern' as outlined in previous comments. I ultimately decided to have original bumpers re-chromed @ Custom Metal Finishing in Cambridge City. So many positive comments, Dad / I dropped them off yesterday. Saw some of their finished product, very impressive! Once they are back, I will post final photos.
