Not a Corvette Fan, especially a 1968 Corvette.

Back in 1954, Chevy rolled out the Corvette Nomad concept, a wagon based on the Corvette's original design. It never entered production, but in 2004, Advance Automotive Technologies created such a model, turning the C6 Corvette into a practical wagon, and one is now for sale.Dec 21, 2020

I'm not a fan of any of the modern day conversions, whether they're on a Corvette or a Camaro or whatever - they have to work around the new car's windshield and general structure, so the proportions are way off. There is a company offering a replica of the original 1954 show car:http://www.superiorglassworks.com/Articles.asp?ID=290

Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
