That was an exercise in futility. Basically took a poster-sized illustration, scanned it in three segments, assembled the segments, then reduced the size (causing a noticeable loss in resolution). At least I tried. Here's the result (yuk!)

Awww...jeez! Thanks Sal!

As far as I know, there is no way to tell from that pic. I "think" it was in the 88 brochure. I have the 89 brochure, and it's not in it.....but it could be from another chevy brochure.
