Chevrolet Corvette

 

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

 

"The Chevrolet Corvette, known colloquially as the Vette, is a sports car manufactured by Chevrolet. The car has been produced through seven generations.

The first model, a convertible, was designed by Harley Earl and introduced at the GM Motorama in 1953 as a concept show car. Myron Scott is credited for naming the car after the type of small, maneuverable warship called a corvette.

Originally built in Flint, Michigan and St. Louis, Missouri, the Corvette is currently manufactured in Bowling Green, Kentucky and is the official sports car of the Commonwealth of Kentucky."

"The Chevrolet Corvette (C4) was a sports car that was produced by Chevrolet for the 1984 through 1996 model years.

The convertible returned In 1986, as did higher performing engines, exemplified by the 375 hp (280 kW) LT5 found in the ZR-1.

In early March 1990, the ZR-1 would set a new record for the highest 24 hour-5,000 mile land-speed by going over 175 mph (282 km/h).

Though prices rose even as sales declined, the fourth generation Corvette won its own loyal following as one of the United States' most desirable sports cars.

The last C4 was produced on June 20, 1996."

"In 1986, the second Corvette Indy Pace Car was released.

It was the first convertible Corvette since 1975.

A Center High Mounted Signal Light (CHMSL) – a third center brake light – was added in 1986 to comply with safety regulations. While the color of the pace car used in the race was yellow, all 1986 convertibles also had an Indy 500 emblem mounted on the console, making any color a "pace car edition". In 1987, the B2K twin-turbo option became available from the factory."
