Wow, I've never heard of this 'vette. Nice pics ! I guess the mirrors in the housings are extra..? Or a delete option..lol

The convertible version was available in Las Vegas. We travelled out there in 2010 and rented one for 6 days. Absolutely one of the best times we've ever had! There were no markings anywhere on the car that indicated it was a rental, so everyone we ran in to thought it was our 'Vette. We had a lot of fun with that car.
Sure beat renting a Sebring convertible!

I wish I'd known!
Had I known about this rental, I would have made a trip and just stayed at the airport for a few days to enjoy that Corvette.
BTW Steve, there are mirrors in the housings on this model. You just can't seem them in the photos with all that yellow reflecting.

Wow..my eyes need checking! Thanks John. I did see them in one of the pics and thought that they might have fallen out. That has happened to some models I have. I think it may be the heat.
