Thumbs up 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!

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.

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!
