Why is the L-88 hood scoop out of style?

[38P]

L-88 is a Corvette hood scoop, not Camaro or Chevelle - and that's what you posted as your picture; the Corvette one.

As 67, and the 68-72 Corvettes are different body styles, I presume you're talking Camaros.

No one said the L-88 was an OEM Camaro or Chevelle hood scoop. Cowl induction was different on all three models.

Cowl hood scoops, at least what you're referring to, was only on the 69 Camaros.... and just about everyone who owned a 67 or 8 put that hood on their car (I know, I did to both of mine).

Nobody's arguing that the OEM Camaro cowl induction scoop made its debut in MY 1969.

One wonders where that shapely "yummy mummy" put that honkin' picnic basket in that Stingray convertible. I'm not buying that "Hamper stocked and stowed" business . . . .

you mean the ad folks took liberties? I hate to be the one to break this to you - but ad folks lie (and Santa, the tooth fairy, and unicorns are lies too).

Well they really couldn't run an ad that said . . . Corvette . . . America's perfect car for cheating on your husband . . . .



The Ford "Mad Men" might have been a tad more overt . . . .


And what could the starched shirts at Cadillac have really been suggesting in this elegant chestnut?

I honestly would rather not think what my parents did before VCRs and porn
