What is the exact "boot stripe width" at the stern and then at the bow on the 16's and 18's ?

Does it taper toward the bow? Some pics (on the site) look like it does taper and some look like it doesn't.

Did it change over the years?

Craig,
My 1968 was all 1 1/8 inch and did not taper. I have seen other late 60' that did the same thing and some did not. I think it is all what the workers at Donzi wanted to do that day.

Thanks Scott -- Hey I like this "times viewed" feature on the site. Very Cool!

So 1 1/8" and some taper , some don't.

The later models are definatly wider than 1 1/8" though I don't know the exact width. Most late model Classics do not have the taper though the factory has been known to taper the boot stripe. The 40th anniversary Classics for example hav a tapered stripe while the standard models do not.
