Corvette: The American

Dream Machine

In the early ’50s, 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 cars 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 210-horsepower Chevy V8 engine solidified

Corvette’s reputation as a production race car.

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.

For its 25th anniversary, the 1978 Corvette paced the 62nd Annual Indianapolis 500 and received a new fastback

roofline with a wide expanse of glass that wrapped around the sides.

In 1984, the fourth generation of 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.

After 44 years of production, Corvette only got better.

The fifth-generation Corvette arrived in 1997, featuring

a completely restyled body and a new, all-aluminum,

5.7 Liter, 345-horsepower LS1 V8 engine.

The structure of the fifth-generation redesign is

the stiffest ever developed in 44 years of Corvette

production, resulting in unparalleled ride quality and

outstanding handling. Also unique to the new Corvette

is a rear-mounted transmission.

Available as a Coupe for 1997, the new Corvette

offered such standard features as extended-mobility

tires, a Bose

audio system, and a new, latch-operated

roof designed for easy removal.

With many design cues inspired by the classic models

of the 1960s, the new fifth-generation Corvette is

an impressive combination of sleek styling and

world-class sports car performance. For 1998, in

addition to the Coupe, a convertible was reintroduced.

The fifth-generation Corvette rollout was completed in

1999 with the introduction of the hardtop model.

For 2001, all hardtop models became the higher

performance Z06. The Z06 model featured the

performance enhanced LS6 engine, specific suspension

components and exterior/interior differentiation.

The Corvette Assembly Plant in Bowling Green,

Kentucky is one of the most sophisticated and

computerized automobile assembly facilities in

robots that assist in a variety of processes,

from welding to painting.

The Bowling Green facility is Corvette’s third

home since 1953. Since beginning production in

June of 1981, it has become one of Kentucky’s

most popular tourist attractions.
