About the Corvette:
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
