The first generation of the Corvette, as presented in 1953, was Chevrolet’s answer to Porsche and Jaguar: a compact roadster, light thanks to plastic bodywork and, from 1956 with the V8, also sporty. In 1963, the 2nd generation was presented, marketed under the name “Corvette Sting Ray”. It had a much improved chassis with independent rear suspension and disc brakes. But most importantly, there was a striking new, exciting design. Folding headlights were introduced – and became a trademark of the Corvette until the 6th generation appeared in 2005. With its “eyes” closed, the Corvette had a sharp-edged front in contrast to the elegant, flowing lines – like a stingray. In 1968, the 3rd generation appeared, which had a much more muscular appearance, but at the same time retained most of the C2’s engine and chassis components. This did not prevent it from becoming the longest-built generation of the Corvette; production ran for no less than 14 years.
In terms of engine power, there were essentially two groups, based on either the “small block” (around 5 liters) or “big block” (up to 7.4 liters, discontinued in 1975), with various transmission and gear ratio options.
