Vehicle Description
The Chevrolet Corvette, known colloquially as the Vette, or Chevy
Corvette, is a sports car manufactured by Chevrolet. The car has
been produced through seven generations. The first model, a
convertible, was introduced at the GM Motorama in 1953 as a concept
show car. Myron Scott is credited for naming the car after the type
of small, maneuverable warship called a corvette. Originally built
in Flint, Michigan and St. Louis, Missouri, the Corvette is
currently manufactured in Bowling Green, Kentucky and is the
official sports car of the Commonwealth of Kentucky. The fourth
generation Corvette was the first complete redesign of the Corvette
since 1963. Production was to begin for the 1983 model year but
quality issues and part delays resulted in only 43 prototypes for
the 1983 model year being produced that were never sold. All of the
1983 prototypes were destroyed or serialized to 1984 except one
with a white exterior, medium blue interior, L83 350 ci, 205 bhp
V8, and 4-speed automatic transmission. After extensive testing and
modifications were completed, it was initially retired as a display
sitting in an external wall over the Bowling Green Assembly Plant's
employee entrance. Later this only surviving 1983 prototype was
removed, restored and is now on public display at the National
Corvette Museum in Bowling Green, Kentucky. It is still owned by
GM. On February 12, 2014, it was nearly lost to a sinkhole which
opened up under the museum. Eight other Corvettes were severely
damaged.
