And its history is a long and fabled one – since production began that last day of June in 1953, the... User rating 0.0 (0) 1954 Corvette Compare 1954 Corvette While the 1954 Corvettes were very similar to the 1953 models, it was clear that Chevy was continually working to improve the first sports car General Motors had ever produced. The Corvette was called an “experimental” car by Chevy... User rating 0.0 (0) 1955 Corvette Compare 1955 Corvette Chevrolet’s original plans for the Corvette did not even include a production model – it was just going to be a concept car for the 1953 New York Auto Show. But excitement from the public and within the ranks... User rating 0.0 (0) 1956 Corvette Compare 1956 Corvette The first Corvettes, those built from 1953 to 1955, were revolutionary to the American sports car – in fact, they essentially invented the American sports car. But they also had many faults, the first two year’s models were significantly... User rating 0.0 (0) 1957 Corvette Compare 1957 Corvette Chevrolet had been continually tweaking the Corvette since it was introduced in 1953, making styling and performance improvements as they worked to create the first true American sports car. And if they finally got the styling right in 1956,... User rating 0.0 (0) 1958 Corvette Compare 1958 Corvette Though the Corvette had just received a restyle in 1956, Chevrolet seemed to feel that the way to continue to make the car more and more popular was to continue changing the make. And if the still rising sales... User rating 0.0 (0) 1959 Corvette Compare 1959 Corvette 1958 may have been a year of substantial change for the Corvette – visually, anyway – but 1959 was a year for refinement. Though it was largely a carryover year from the year before, anything that did changed seemed... User rating 0.0 (0) 1960 Corvette Compare 1960 Corvette Much like 1959 had been, 1960 was very much a carryover year, particularly as far as visuals for the car were concerned. However, there were still quite a few tricks up Chevy’s sleeve that improved the car. This was... User rating 0.0 (0) 1961 Corvette Compare 1961 Corvette While the styling of the 1961 Corvette was not a drastic departure from the previous models, it was a welcome update that would carry the car through the end of the first-generation models the following year. Much of the... User rating 5.0 (1) 1962 Corvette Compare 1962 Corvette The first thing that stands out about the 1962 Corvette relative to its predecessor is that new engine under the hood, though the styling deserves some attention as well. Though it had been through quite a few restyles since... User rating 0.0 (0) 1963 Corvette Compare 1963 Corvette For the first decade of the Corvette’s existence, Chevrolet engineers continually improved the performance and handling of the car, but those cars were always based on the same platform that had been modified from a Chevy Sedan. But the... User rating 0.0 (0) 1964 Corvette Compare 1964 Corvette After the Sting Ray Corvettes were introduced in 1963 as the second generation of America’s first true sports car, Chevy realized what a great automobile it had built and wisely opted not to make significant changes. All of the... User rating 0.0 (0) 1965 Corvette Compare 1965 Corvette At first glance, the 1965 Corvette doesn’t look much different from the 1964 models, or the 1963 models, for that matter. But a closer look reveals that Corvette styling was evolving in the same way it always had, through... User rating 0.0 (0) 1966 Corvette Compare 1966 Corvette The first big block V8, a 396 CID version, was introduced to the Corvette in 1965, and that proved to be a foreshadowing of what was to come. That engine was only used for one year, and was replaced... User rating 0.0 (0) 1967 Corvette Compare 1967 Corvette The final highlight refers to the engine option known as the L88, which used aluminum cylinder heads and 12.5 to 1 compression ratio to put out more performance than any of the other original Sting Ray Corvettes. Though officially... User rating 0.0 (0) 1968 Corvette Compare 1968 Corvette The styling for the third generation Corvette was based on the Mako Shark II show car designed by GM designer Larry Shinoda in 1965, hence the “shark” label on this generation. Like the Mako Shark, the Corvette was seen,... User rating 0.0 (0) 1969 Corvette Compare 1969 Corvette After the third-generation Corvettes were introduced in 1968, the 1969 models were carryovers from that year for the most part. Other than the new small-block engine choice, nearly all other updates were designed to increase comfort and safety. ... User rating 0.0 (0) 1970 Corvette Compare 1970 Corvette The 1970 Corvettes weren’t drastically different from the 1969 models, but there were quite a few distinguishing factors worth mentioning, including the new engine lineup. There was only one 454 engine used in the 1970 Corvettes,... User rating 0.0 (0) 1971 Corvette Compare 1971 Corvette All in all, the 1971 Corvettes were nearly identical to the 1970 models that had come before it. Styling changes were nearly non-existent, and visually it was all but impossible to distinguish between the two models. But the relatively... User rating 0.0 (0) 1972 Corvette Compare 1972 Corvette With the introduction of the net horsepower rating requirement, cars across the auto industry seemed to lose power in 1972, though much of the actual power remained the same. Net power ratings forced auto makers to account for all... User rating 0.0 (0) 1973 Corvette Compare 1973 Corvette Almost all changes for the 1973 Corvette were in response to the new federal mandates that were changing the auto industry at the time to improve safety and emissions. Like many car models, this proved to have good points... User rating 5.0 (5) 1974 Corvette HOT Compare 1974 Corvette The styling changes that had been enacted last year for the 1973 Corvette were brought about in large part because of the new federal safety regulations that were forcing the auto industry to change every year. Most of the... User rating 0.0 (0) 1975 Corvette Compare 1975 Corvette With the elimination of the convertible after 1975, Chevy was following the trend of the time as convertible sales everywhere were on the decline. The Corvette was no exception, and fewer convertible models were sold throughout the year than... User rating 0.0 (0) 1976 Corvette Compare 1976 Corvette When it comes down to it, the 1976 Corvettes were barely different from the 1975 Corvette, which in turn were not very different from the 1974 models. But with sales continually on the rise, Chevy appeared to justifiably decide... User rating 0.0 (0) 1977 Corvette Compare 1977 Corvette From 1975 to 1977, very little changed about the Corvette in terms of power or styling.
