Recognize this car? What is it, what year was it built and who designed it? Absolutely beautiful!

Gosh damn it, it's right on the tip of my tongue...Darn it! I think it is crazy early like 1934 or something.

In 1965 there is one part of the body structure of a Corvette that is different if it had a big block, a small block, an FI or A/C what is it?

That sure doesn't look like any other 1938 car! They sure were ahead of their time. I love looking at a car like that and then comparing it with something later when it became more of the norm. I would say 1950 or so with most of it but really,even later, up into the late seventies with the slanted front end and lights! Amazing, they were certainly forward thinkers.

I'm not sure what your asking. Is one body part different between a bb than a sb? Would that body part be different from the bb and or sb, if it had a/c? Brian just what in the heck are you asking?
BB

There is a body structure part that you can't see with doors and hood closed. There was a different part number for this part and it looks visibly different from bb to sb to fi to a/c.

So in each application it is different. So it actually has four different looks.

Yep you could look at these four different parts and tell what they go to a bb, sb, sb with fi or sb with a/c. I don't think they even had a bb with a/c so I am not sure if there were two for bb, one with a/c one without. I only know of the one for bb.

I personally don't know the difference with the one for a/c but the others I can easily tell looking at them what they go to.
