Name That Corvette – Round Four

Once a year, Carlisle, Pennsylvania attracts some of the world’s most wonderful and wacky Chevrolet Corvettes to its expansive fairgrounds. In honor of the Corvettes at Carlisle festival, we’ve decided to test your knowledge of GM’s plastic fantastic sports car.

Think you know what you’re looking at? Send us your best guesses, hypotheses, or shots in the dark via the comments section below. We’ll unveil the answer (along with a new puzzle) tomorrow evening.

Did You Name Yesterday’s Vette?

We hope the unusual colors and graphics pattern helped tip you off that yesterday’s puzzle was a 1998 Corvette Indy 500 Replica.

Mechanically, the pace ‘Vette was bone stock, but designers whipped up one unusual paint scheme for the special car. GM dubbed the base color Radar Blue, but in person, the color-shifting paint appears almost purple. Shocking, but not as much as the abundance of yellow, which appears on the hood stripes, side graphics, seat skins, interior stitching, and even the five-spoke aluminum wheels.

An unusual combination, certainly, but nearly 1158 buyers paid the extra $5039 for the Z4Z option package, which rendered their 1998 Corvette convertibles identical to the actual pace car, which was driven at the race by none other than Parnelli Jones.
