Default Re: Rosenthal Chevrolet Arlington, VA

Your are right that even a new back window was something to get excited about back then! It only took 10 years to get a new window design; people had lower expectations back then. In 1976 many months before the new 1978 Corvette was introduced Dave M. showed up at the Holiday Inn with a prototype of the new Corvette. The car was not delivered in a trailer, it had nothing tacked on to hide the design features and he arrived alone. Dave gave an interesting talk about the changes for the 25th Anniversary of the Corvette. Everyone then went outside to look at the prototype. One of the wives, who had a Corvette herself wanted to sit in the car. She got in the car started it up and drove off with it. The look on Dave's face was priceless as she drove off with his prototype Corvette. Much to his relief she returned the Corvette after a brief tour of the parking lot. However nobody else got a test drive that night...
