Thus. AI22 would appear on a block cast on January 12. 1962 (or 1072). Tba

Corwetias. This it cspeciatty true for the 1962 and oUcrCorvcua models.

Pnor to the 1963 modal Corvatu. no paM Menufication coduig was

affixed to tha Conatta body Thus, if an earlier Corvette is re-pamtad cara-

fuuy enough, tha coKir can ba changed without detection. Easier said than

done, andmost repaintcan ba recogniied if inspected ckisely enough. But tha

lick of ponuve 10 plau venllcation keeps the paint controversy bravNog.

Chevrotot has always used lacquer for the cxunor bouy surfaces of Cor-

vettes. 1957 and okMr Corvettes were painted with nitrocellulose lacquer,

except tor Inca Sdvar models wlMh wwra acrylic lacquer. All 1958 and newer

exterior color ksted lor the 1078 Corveoa was withdrawn bafore production
