Re: Vettefest Pic's
 

Well it was a great day at Vettfest, the best one I've ever been to. Saw all of my friends today...Dan Vasic, Darren Costello, Ken Tibor, John Plantania and last but not least Steve Bimbi. There were plenty of beautiful cars and some very nice displays but I'd have to say that again this year my friend Jody Schmeisser's display was numero uno! Jody really puts alot of thought into making his display and it definately shows....you be the judge. This year he brought a 1966 427 390 horse Caprice which he just finished a frame off restoration on, and a beautiful 1966 marina blue 427 425 horse SS Impala. Here are the pics....

Awesome car.. Wouldn't trim rings be standard/mandatory with the SS package, or did they not come standard on the "cheapie" SS post cars?

Re: Vettefest Pic's
 

Joe,

Standard SS package did incluce the trim rings, however the original owner chose not to have them. If one could order -- paint, then asking to not install trim rings on any car...would be a no brainer.... JMO.
