One of only 13 built for Tangier Shrine Corvette Patrol. The Tangier Shrine Patrol was formed in March 1957 in Nebraska. It was composed of Omaha, Nebraska lawyers, bankers and business men who felt that their demonstrations of precise driving would help the case of traffic safety.The group chose the Corvette to exhibit their driving skills. The group (11-15 members) purchased a new Corvette each year and GM would build all at the same time so they would be identical.In 1962, Bunky Knudsen told the group they could have any GM car color from any GM model available that year. The director chose the 1962 Cadillac color Royal Heather Amethyst and as it happened, white was not an option for the interior of a 1962 Corvette so the director went with red.

Putting the S code 390 in the 1967 Cougar then adding AC produced a lot of underhood heat. To combat this, Mercury added a fan shroud and a rubber strip to make a better seal to aid the shroud. They also added a heat shield on the battery on the two sides that faced the engine and extended it up over the battery to encase the positive terminal as seen in this photo.
