Tom -

See page 172-173 in Noland's Vol.I book - lots of info and photos on it there.

I know of one that exists. It is NOT, repeat, NOT a correct car.
The ORIGINAL intent was to have the FI script on the front, as you mentioned. But, as is understood, it was cancelled BEFORE going into production.
A friend of mine, who has moved from OKC to the Dallas area, has a black with white cove (NOT beige) and a DYED black (waffle pattern) interior with a white lower dash.
He and I built our cars during the same time frame in the mid-70s and he installed FI on his car with side-front-rear FI emblems. He did this because he once saw the pictures in an early Corvette parts book that illustrated the FI emblems in front----------so, he added it. As I recall, his 57 VIN is in the 5000 range. The engine is (or was) painted candy apple red and also painted between the valve cover fins and the FI plenum fins (I never liked it!).
