C4 Corvette European Launch Video
Hello ZR-1 enthusiasts! I recently ran across a great archived video for the debut of the 1984 Corvette in Europe. Dave McLellan is featured prominently and one engineer hinted at "more power" soon to come. We all know what that meant! Enjoy!

Re: C4 Corvette European Launch Video
European mirrors are fold back type if you hit someone the mirror folds out of
the way. Were as north American mirrors could impale someone if hit just right. Export mirrors are 6 in x 3.75 in, a little bigger then North American type. Also the tail lights are amber on the outside and red on the inside. Some of the cars had a small amber lights in the belt line on the each side of the license plate area. On cars going to Sweden they have amber lights on the left and right above the side grills for turn signals. John |

Re: C4 Corvette European Launch Video
The 96 GS coupe had them on the rear only flairs when sold here?
Did the ZR-1 get the rear bumper lights ? I do not remember a picture of the export cars. Interesting! |
