Early C-1 Corvette Metal Headlamp Ring, Part # 3779239 on 2040-parts.com
Houston, Texas, US
Offered for sale is an original, unpainted Headlamp Ring. In the course of time, it has oxidized in spots and sustained some scratches. It is classified as "Used". It initially had a "golden" bloom on it, but was polished off in an attempt to determine where the spots and scratches were and make them more evident for these photos. The spots and scratches could be cleared up with a liberal coat of primer prior to painting. GM replaced chrome rings with painted metal rings on their 1961's and 62's (to make the car appear "longer"). These have two holes on the upper brow to attach the chrome extension moldings. This is an authentic GM part, not a reproduction, and it carries the GM Part # 3779239. GM has discontinued production of this part.

The agreement has not yet been confirmed publicly and is still in the early phase, but brings to an end an uncomfortable round of talks in the past 48 hours which saw a spat between American negotiators and European politicians, and Fiat CEO Sergio Marchionne walking away from the table.Once sealed, the deal must first be approved by the German government, which is to provide interim funding to the new owners. However, Italian car maker Fiat isn't yet totally ruled out of the running, as Magna's chief exec earlier today intimated that he could be interested in cooperation.CAR Online will update with the latest developments as they happen.
