What Is A 1963 FWC?

[Joe C.]

I have seen this term in Vette Views Magazine. There was no RPO code associated with it.

Probably a "Full Window Coupe". A term for a 63 coupe where someone installed the 64 style rear window. You definitely won't find that one on the RPO list.

Can someone tell me what John D. means when he calls his 63 an LWC? I've never seen him explain, and I didn't want to seem foolish asking a question that probably everyone that knows him well knows the answer to.

Stu, believe it stands for "little white coupe". Am only guessing. John, will probably let us know for sure. Gary....

Gary;

I hope you mean "coupe" instead of "couple". I can't imagine John even using the word "couple" to describe anything right now. Perhaps "a few" of this or that, but not a couple, Ha! (I know - not funny).

Gary;

Now you made the typo correction and I look like a fool. That's OK. John's a good soul.

The original FWC - isn't that for "Five Window Coupe"? Sounds good to me and my Hot Rod friends.

Stands for "Farting While Cruising" The term orignated in the foothill suburbs of west Cumberland Maryland.

LWC definitely stands for Little White Coupe as John affectionately refers to his Top Flight white 63 SWC. John and I attended both the Marlborough Regional in 2006 and the Seven Springs Regional this past June. What a great car that LWC!

Old JD is working butt off getting ready for Carlisle. Now I see I had better hire someone to be on the lookout for insults.
If you don't know what LWC is then you are out of touch.
Means "Little White Car".
Later as gots to get back to work. Some people have a job.

Here in Nort Cakalacki, after many beers, Bubba's refer to FWC as

Fubar'd Wittle Coupe

And then Sell it as Matching Numbers on eBay

David,

Possible, but maybe..................

IF
we are using outmoded military acronyms, and FWC means "FUBAR Windowed Coupe"
THEN (Zora said it best)
it follows that SWC would mean "SNAFU Windowed Coupe".

I'll try to find the issue of Corvette Enthusiast Magazine containing the acronym.
