<VV> Interesting GM Move!

 I doubt very many people at all would think SS on a Chevy means anything other than Super Sport, and I'm restoring a WWII fort, and never thought of that!

Well, in deference to GM's wanting to trademark the SS model designation, I 
think
it would be wise to change the designation of our Monza SS to Monza SR. This 
would
then stand for Sports Roadster, which it clearly is.
