DREAM MACHINE
In the early OS, it 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 car in the
world.
In
1953, Corvette 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,
the Corvette began its
drive into the heart of America.
Designers freshened 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 1 0-horsepower Chevy V8 engine solidified
Corvette’s reputation as a production race car.

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.

new fastback 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.

sports car anticipated the future with a sleek
look and
advanced technology that provided superior handling
and performance. Windshield 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.
