Ok, I'll answer this myself:

1) 100,000 was built in 1925. A truck.
2) 12,000,000 was built in 1936.
That's a lot of vehicles in 11 years.

WOOPS- EDIT INSTEAD OF a QUOTE.

Here's another:
Cameo trucks were built from 1955 to '58.
What's the easiest way to tell the 3 years apart ?

1955
All first-year Cameos were painted two-tone white and red.

1956
Had a few minor trim changes..
It was offered in several new two-tone paint schemes.

The new ZL1 VIN's, are uniquely sequenced,

What was the last Chevrolet to have continuous
sequenced VIN's through model years?

TOPICAL QUESTION:

In consideration of the Rolex 24 currently running at Daytona, who are the Chevrolet drivers, in the history of this event, to be honored with "official" Chevrolet "Special Editions" named after them?

LOWDOWN · 01-30-2012, 09:01 AM

Ron Fellows - 2007 Z06 Vette http://www.supercars.net/cars/3729.html

Jeff Gordon - 2003 Monte Carlo http://www.jgmontecarloss.com/

Dale Earnhardt Sr. - 2002 Monte Carlo http://www.netcarshow.com/chevrolet/...hardt_edition/

Why was the Ron Fellows' 2007 Z06 Vette painted White with Red hash marks?

f5journal · 01-30-2012, 01:32 PM

I will say....because he is Canadian

LOWDOWN · 01-30-2012, 02:26 PM

...and Canada's International racing colours are RED-on-WHITE...

The U.S. is BLUE-on-WHITE...and that's why those pesky Shelby Mustangs originally came that way.

LOWDOWN · 01-30-2012, 02:32 PM

Name the car, the driver, and the event:

f5journal · 01-30-2012, 02:57 PM

1967 Camaro

Well, I can read Maurice Carter and Art Dempsey

The Vancouver to Montreal rally deal...appears to be the finish of the race

Hmm....I believe that just might be one of the 601 or 602 Z-28's from 67

LOWDOWN · 01-30-2012, 03:37 PM

Maurice Carter aka Mo Carter went on to race in the original SCCA Trans Am Series...of course, in Z/28s...which this very rare '67 Rally Sport IS!

The name of the event? The SHELL 4000, a T-S-D (time-speed-distance) rally from coast to coast. The venue in the picture? EXPO '67, Montreal's World's Fair.

Explain what the cable does on the right front wheel.
What is it connected to?

Part of the "rally computer"...very accurate for speed and distance. With a stop-watch for timing, makes your "rally stage" computations very accurate. "State of the art" for rallying, at the time...

Remember, this was l-o-n-g before current computer technology...

In a TSD rally with a multitude of checkpoints, over 4000 miles as this one was run, a winning time within a minute was possible/expected! And that took very accurate distance-speed calculations to accomplish.
