Berlinetta?

I changed the license plate on my wifes Camaro today and noticed something interesting behind the front plate. Molded into the license plate holder is "Chevrolet Camaro Berlinetta." The car isn't a berlinetta, I don't think, but I just thought that was humerous. The car has turned out to be a freakin' mess... but when things go wrong, I just fix them!

P.S. Does anyone have a comment on the IROC-C designation?

Gm used the same license plate holders for various cars. So whatever the holder was used on first got its name molded in the part. Every 90-up RS I've ever seen has had Z28 molded in the holder.

That reminds me of a story I was told by a my friends uncle.

He says that he owned a vette, (older one, dont remmeber the year[Sringray I think]), and he said that he messed the front end up a bit and had to take it apart.

Upon doing so he was astonished to find that the front had already been in an accident and the previous owner had rigged it so that the whole front end was held together with wood!!!!
