Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine In the early ’50s, is was only a
designer’s dream. Today, the Corvette
stands alone as America’s dream car
- a
testament to its unmistakable charisma
and the excitement it inspires. Unique
styling, powerful performance and an undeniable panache have made Corvette
one of the most celebrated sports cars
in
the world.
In 1953, Chevrolet produced 300 new
lightweight fiberglass roadsters.
A
handful went to project engineers,
General Motors managers, and a select
group of movie stars and celebrities.
With a two-speed Powerglide automatic
transmission, Blue Flame six-cylinder
engine, and gleaming Polo White
exterior, Corvette began its drive into
the heart
of America.
Designers freshioned up the ’Vette in
1956 by adding a removable hardtop
and the famous Corvette “coves.” The
sculptured body enhanced its sporty
look, and a standard 2 10-horsepower
Chevy
V8 engine solidified Corvette’s
reputation as a production race car.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine In 1963, Corvette hit the road with an
eye-catching new look
- the Sting Ray
coupe. An instant success, the now-
classic Sting
Ray featured concealed
headlamps and a unique split rear
window. The split window would only
be offered
in 1963, making this model
among the most prized Corvettes ever
built.
Restyled inside and out
for 1968, this
'Vette sported a lean and hungry shape,
creating
a sense of motion even when
standing still. And for the first
time,
Corvette offered removable roof panels.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine For its 25th anniversary, the 1978 Corvette received a new fas\
tback roofline with a wide expanse of glass that wrapped
around the sides. Emblems front and rear identified the ’78 ’Vette as a Silver Anniversary model.
In 1984, the sixth generation
of America’s favorite sports car anticipated the future with a \
sleek look and advanced
technology that provided superior handling and performance. Winds\
hield angle was the sheerest of any domestic vehicle,
cornering ability the tightest of any production car. In short, the 1984 redesign enhanced the Corvette’s reputation as a leader
in the world sports car market.
With 41 years of experience and technology under its belt, Cor\
vette only gets better. From the 32-valve,
16 fuel injector,
twin double-overhead cam V8 engine
in the ZR-1 Special Performance Coupe to state-of-the-art refinements standard on all
Corvettes, today’s Corvette is a premier driving machine.
