The Chevrolet Corvette, colloquially known as the 'Vette, is a two-door, two-passenger sports car manufactured and marketed by Chevrolet across more than 60 years of production and eight design generations.
From 1953 to 2019, it was front-engine, and since 2020, it is mid-engine.
With its generations noted sequentially from C1 to C8, the Corvette serves as Chevrolet's halo vehicle and is widely noted for its performance and distinctive plastic-either fiberglass or composite-bodywork.
In 1953, when GM executives were looking to name the new Chevrolet sports car, assistant director for the Public Relations department Myron Scott suggested Corvette after the small maneuverable warship-and the name was approved.
The first model, a convertible, was introduced at the GM Motorama in 1953 as a concept and was followed ten years later by the 1963 second generation, in coupe and convertible styles.
Originally manufactured in Flint, Michigan and St.
Louis, Missouri, the Corvette has been manufactured in Bowling Green, Kentucky since 1981.
The Corvette has since become widely known as America's Sports Car.
Automotive News wrote that after 'starring' in the early 1960s television show Route 66, the Corvette became synonymous with freedom and adventure, ultimately becoming both the most successful concept car in history and the most popular sports car in history.
The second generation (C2) Corvette, which introduced Sting Ray to the model, continued with fiberglass body panels, and overall, was smaller than the first generation.
The C2 was later referred to as mid-years.
The car was designed by Larry Shinoda with major inspiration from a previous concept design called the Q Corvette, which was created by Peter Brock and Chuck Pohlmann under the styling direction of Bill Mitchell.
Earlier, Mitchell had sponsored a car known as the Mitchell Sting Ray in 1959 because Chevrolet no longer participated in factory racing.
This vehicle had the largest effect on the styling of this generation, although it had no top and did not give away what the final version of the C2 would look like.
The third inspiration was a mako shark Mitchell had caught while deep-sea fishing.
For its third season, the 1965 Corvette Sting Ray further cleaned up style-wise and was muscled up with the addition of an all-new braking system and larger power plants.
1965 styling alterations were subtle, confined to a smoothed-out hood now devoid of scoop indentations, a trio of working vertical exhaust vents in the front fenders that replaced the previous nonfunctional horizontal speedlines, restyled wheel covers and rocker-panel moldings, and minor interior trim revisions.
The 1965 Corvette Sting Ray became ferocious with the mid-year debut of the Big-Block 396 cu in engine producing 425HP.
1965 also added another 350HP small block engine (Option L79) which used hydraulic rather than solid lifters, a milder camshaft and a modestly redesigned smaller oil pan.
Otherwise, the 350HP engine was cosmetically and mechanically identical to the 365HP engine (Option L76) solid lifter engine.
The smaller oil pan allowed this high output small block 350hp engine to be ordered with optional Power Steering for the first time amongst the optional stable of higher output small block engines.
Power steering was previously only available with the lower 250 hp and 300 hp engines.
Four-wheel disc brakes were also introduced in 1965.
The brakes had a four-piston design with two-piece calipers and cooling fins for the rotors.
Pads were in frequent contact with the rotors, but the resulting drag was negligible and did not affect fuel economy.
Further, the light touching kept the rotors clean and did not diminish pad life, which was, in fact, quite high:
a projected 57,000 mi for the front brakes and about twice that distance for the rear binders.
Per pending federal regulation, there was also a dual master cylinder with separate fluid reservoirs (only on models with power brakes for 1965) for the front and rear lines.
Road testers rightly applauded the all-disc brakes.
Testers found that repeated stops from 100 mph produced no deterioration in braking efficiency, and even the most sudden stops were rock-stable.
A side exhaust system appeared as an option as did a telescopic steering wheel.
Also available were alloy spinner rims, at US$322 a set Whilst Fusion Motor Company make a sincere effort to supply information that is accurate and complete, we are aware that errors and omissions may occur.
