Wayne shot this on Saturday, 14 June, the day after delivery. Good shot of the "Wide Treads" at all 4 corners. I asked Wayne the other night about the "Wickline" license plate frame and he doesn't even remember it. I'm sure that was one of the 1st things to go. Probably not cool enuff for a 20 y.o. dude to be advertising for some Chevy dealership. Wayne is going to check w/ some of the local salvage yards to see if he can track one down.

Sam,

What a great picture...Stunning! So it never came with a red side stripe?

No sir. 2nd owner put that on in early 90s. I think it sets the car off nicely, though. I like it but have contemplated taking it off. No stripes looks a bit more sinister/stealthy.

-----Sam,,,Not to throw any fuel on the fire, but!!! Could a guy order the factory thin pinstripes on an SS that could have been on a Malibu??? I think they were included in some deluxe package. I just kept staring at your beautiful car wondering what thin red pinstripes would look like........Bill S

I must admit that it looks great without the stripe. Very sinister looking.

I vote in favor of the stripe....I think they look naked without

Cool car either way, but I think I'm with Bill.

And I agree with Dennis and Bill...looks way cooler with the red stripe. Sets off the interior, too!
