There are arguably three leading sports cars in American automotive
culture. Of course, there's the Ford Mustang and the Chevrolet
Camaro, but before either of those, there was the Corvette. The
Chevrolet Corvette made its debut in 1953. Since then, there have
been several excellent models and special editions. However, one of
the best is the 1971 Chevrolet Corvette. -hotcars.com
