      Mark, as I understand it, the car went over three times. I have a bunch of pictures. The owner said this was a well put together car, the second one the dealer ordered was not so good and he sold it before the 64's came out. I have the window stickers on both.
      The driver had to get stiches on his leg where the ignition key cut him, that was his only injury aside from the loss of his job.
      The lesson here is good roll-over protection (for coupes anyway) but you're toast if rearended.

            Agree with Bill's comment directly above--same amount of time as owner/driver of Vettes--46 years. Why didn't Ralph Nader go after the Vettes??? Almost makes me want to leave my '64 in the garage as a "static display."
