known also as the Vette or Chevy Corvette, is a front engine, rear
drive, two-door, two-passenger sports car manufactured and marketed
by Chevrolet across more than sixty years of production and seven
design generations. As Chevrolet's halo vehicle, the Corvette is
widely noted for its performance and distinctive plastic either
fiberglass or composite bodywork. In 1953, when GM executives were
looking to a 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.
In 1962, the Chevrolet 283 cu in (4.64 L) Small-Block was enlarged
to 327 cu in (5.36 L). In standard form, it produced 250 bhp (190
kW). For an extra 12% over list price, the fuel-injected version
produced 360 bhp (270 kW), making it the fastest of the C1
generation. 1962 was also the last year for the wrap around
windshield, solid rear axle, and convertible-only body style. The
trunk lid and exposed headlamps did not reappear for many decades.
