Just to make sure yours was not a date misprint, we have a "the Gold Standard" 1998 issue marked Special Collection XIV, 1998 The Corvette L88. Not sure, maybe they do the L88 every 10 years. I will keep looking and see if we can find anything for 1988.

[/ QUOTE ] 1988 did in fact feature the L88 Corvette at Bloomington, it was called "Earthquake 88". I remember it like yesterday, what a great show and have been hooked on those cars ever since.

I think I found the program announcing the show. It is overall Blue with pictures of a Gold 63 split window on the cover and makes mention of the show being June 23-26, 1988. It lists the schedule of events and the "Earthquake 88, L88 is mentioned. However I still don't think this is the one you are looking for. I am sure we have it but I have thousands of magazines to go through yet.
