CORVETTE: THE AMERICAN 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. iii

In 1963, Corvette hit the road withan 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. iv

For its 25th anniversary, the 1978 Corvette received a 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. V

In 1984, the fourth generation of America’s favorite sports car anticipated the futurewith a sleek look and advanced technology that provided superior handling and performance. Windshield angle was the sheerestof 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. vi
