Those dual red hash marks on the left front fender of every 1996 Grand Sport have significance. Of the five original Grand Sport racers, three coupes made their debut with the Mecom Racing Team at Nassau, in 1963. Along with their distinctive Mecom Team paint scheme, color-coded hash marks were used on the bodywork to differentiate one car from another. The Grand Sport is a very special Corvette - as were the "fulie" Corvettes of the Fifties and the 427 "big-blocks" of the Sixties - and it will never go unnoticed.
