roof CHEVROLET CORVETTE 1994 4.G Owners Manual

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.

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.
