Unloading the Corvette for the Corvette Chevy Expo in Galveston, Texas.

Article submitted for VetteVues, ’95 Pace Car, Tri -Power Award®, February 2016

Hello, my name is Charlotte, and I am a 1995 Indianapolis Pace Car (IPC) Replica, one of 527 produced by Chevrolet in 1995.

I was assembled at the Bowling Green, KY, assembly plant on March 16 under Regular Production Option (RPO) # Z4Z, which designated me as an authentic ’95 IPC. As such. I started life in the assembly process with a Dark Purple Metallic (Code 05) body, which was then over-sprayed with an Arctic White (Code 10) on the bottom half to fit the intended paint scheme for the ’95 IPC.
