CORVETTE: THE

AMERICAN

DREAM

MACHINE

the early

OS,

it was only a designer’s dream. Today

the Corvette stands alone as America’s dream car

testament to its unmistakable charisma andthe

excitement it inspires. Unique styling,powerful

performance and an undeniable panache havemade

Corvette one of the most celebratedsports cars in

the world.

1953,

Corvette produced

300

new lightweight

fiberglass roadsters.

handful went

project

engineers, General Motors managers, and a select group

movie stars and celebrities. Witha two-speed

Powerglide automatic transmission, Blue Flame

six-cylinder engine, and gleamingPolo White exterior,

the Corvette began its driveinto the heart ofAmerica.

Designers freshened up the ’Vette in

1956

by adding a

removable hardtop and thefamous Corvette “coves.”

The sculptured body enhanced its sportylook, and a

standard

0-horsepower Chevy

engine solidified

Corvette’s reputation as

production race car.

iii

1963,

Corvette hit the road with an eye-catching new

look

the StingRay coupe. An instant success, the

now-classic StingRay featured concealed headlamps

and

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

lean and hungryshape, creating a sense

motion even

when standing still. And for the first time, Corvette

offered removable roof panels.

For its 25th anniversary,

the 1978

Corvette received

new fastback roofline with

wide expanse

glass

that

wrapped around

the

sides. Emblenx front and rear identified the

'78

'Vette

a Silver Anniversary model.

Now in its 44th year

production, Corvette only gets

better. From the Grand Sport 330-horsepower

LT4

engine

to state-of-the-art refinements standard on all Corvettes,

today’s Corvette is a premier driving machine.

In 1984, the fourth generation

America’s favorite

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.
