These cars are on display at the Inanapolis car Show as Marshall said. I had an oppertunity to take a gander at them this weekend. Chevrolet had a nice display of corvettes on hand. Besides these 2 beauties they also had a 78 pace car, an Atomic Orange vert, a metallic blue Z06, and a silver coupe hanging from the ceiling above the display.

I wasn't able to get pics of these Saturday. I should be returning for another viewing so I will at that time. I will also click a few pics of the hugger orange W/Blk rally stiped camaro vert sitting in the area. Overall this was a nice display but I hate to say ford had a strong showing and their interactive robot who spoke to the crowd totally rocked!Tuxblacray2007-12-29 19:28:03

Ok, I'll give this a shot, even though I seem to always have trouble posting pix...

Sorry, the lighting was a bit severe and I was with someone not quite being patient with my first stop at the show being the Corvettes...

Marshall, was this the regular new car auto show? If so, can't wait for it to get to Chicago. They better bring that 78 Pace Car, too!
Saved all your pics showing the 78!!

Yep.  Have a safe drive up to Indy.  I saw on the news this morning that we're expecting 1-2 inches of snow tonight.
 
Like you, I considered going to the 500 museum to see if I could get a closer look at their Pace Car, but I've just got too much going on today.

Thanks again for the pictures Marshall Clap  Hey did the 78 Pace Car say Jim Rathman on the other side?
 
So who the heck is J.R. Cloutier?  A quick Google search of his name tells me he was a rocket scientist LOL
