Mid 70's vintage Corvettes also had a sloping radiator that reflected
most of the radar upward, making the radar gun's usable range quite
limited.  A test was done a way back when and from what I could remember,
the gun's normal range was cut to less than 50% when attempting to clock
one of these Corvettes.
