Noland presented a discussion on GM Corvette Restoration Parts and the past history of his involvement with legalizing the use of the word Corvette with company Logo’s, i.e. Corvette Central, Mid-America Corvette and others.  There was also a short discussion on restoration part quality and how many companies rely on foreign manufacture of parts.  Essentially it is Buyer Beware.
