I know I read somewhere there was a reason why they had to have the "hash marks"on the 60s' grand sports for Le Mans for some reason. Can someone find a source or tell me why they had them?

thanks

I do believe has marks weren't a corvette exclusive item. Race teams used them back in the day to differentiate between cars as they often had the same paint scheme. sometimes one, two, or three etc marks on various cars. Corvette just revived them w/ the GS to hark back to the original GS.
