C1 Trunk Plywood Spare Covers in Scarce Supply

[Troy P.]

I see that Corvette Central has discontinued selling the covers for all C1's. Where can we get them now?

I need an early one for 53-55. This version does not have the handhole cut in along the edge. Just a round finger hole.

Paragon ( www.paragoncorvette.com ) still shows it in their C1 catalog. Part no. 15640k

Thanks for the tip. Saved me some digging around.

I see the board comes with the foam jack cushions attached. 53 and early 54 did not have those cushions. I've asked for the cushions in a package and not installed. We'll see how that goes.

Rumor is Paragon offers NCRS members a 10% discount.

Not a rumor, it's true. They've been doing it for years.

On some items they even give a 15% discount.

Good to know.

BTW, I spoke to Corvette Central just now and I was told they discontinued the plywood covers because the plywood sheets with the correct thickness and number of plys we need for max originality is no longer available to them. So it will be interesting to see if Paragon has the right stuff.

Troy, when I checked over a year ago no one offered the correct number of plys. At that time Grossmueller's had an original one.

Good Luck,

Steve

Got board from paragon for a 59 a couple months ago. Layer count is correct 5 layers the thickness falls short from 3/8 by 1/32 the foam pads were not attached to board but did come with it. Also did not have any knot repair plugs.
