Snowcrest White, shown here, was the most popular color that year. Wheels were painted black under the wheel covers in In the following year they were painted to match the body color. However, this one is Honduras Maroon, a color not available in If you look closely, Fuel Injection script is visible on the front fender. The models lack these two identifiers. If the seat upholstery is correct, of course. This detail shot shows the difference between the passenger side dash trim, top, and the on piece at the bottom with its red and blue bars.
Obviously, this tell is only valid if the parts on the car are year-appropriate. In the Corvette was treated to a new rear end design patterned after the Corvette Sting Ray concept. The dual exhausts were now routed under the car instead of through the bumper ends. Note the four round taillamps. No production Corvettes were equipped with six lamps, but it was a popular owner mod, mirroring the six lamps on the Chevrolet Impala.
At the front, the changes were more subtle but still easy to spot: the toothed grille was eliminated and the headlamp rings were painted body color instead of chrome. Fawn Beige a metallic pale gold was a popular new color for , here paired with an Ermine White fender cove.
A new tri-bar fender badge replaced the former crossed-flags emblem, but the triple chrome spears were retained for one more year. The familiar Corvette fender cove is still present, but the chrome surround trim has been eliminated. Also, the three chrome spears at the leading edge of the cove were replaced with this fin trim gadget. Another fabulous job of diging and finding and showing more great stuff for us gearheads.
Another item that is striking in difference is the metal sway bar that was added to the and later models. The front sway bar was redesign to have a different shape. The Corvette verses the Power Train. The valve cover attachment holes changed, There was an additional option added in for a clutch fan, the radiator shroud changed, an addition hose bracket was added to the FI air hose in 60, the air cleaners changed from sealed to open, bellhousing changed.
The valve covers and heads changed from to by the relocation of the valve cover attachment holes. The 59 has what is known as staggered holes while the 60 and later heads us the straight across design for the attachment holes.
The radiator shroud design changed in to a smaller or shorter shroud Depth from the radiator to the motor. The change was to make room for the clutch fan that was being offered as a option. A spacer was used with the fixed blade fan when the option clutch fan was not purchased. If a person purchased a FI car in there was an additional air hose brace added to the area of the hood prop to hold the air vent hose away from the prop in the folded position. In and earlier the carburetor air cleaners where sealed units which changed in The bellhousing design changed from cast steel metal used up through to cast aluminum in The new design also lost the bellhousing mounting ears that where used on passenger cars of the late 50's for mounting but never used in the assembly of the Corvette.
The Corvette verses the Body parts. The hood latches and pins changed, the attachment and location of the Vin number changed, the hood design changed due to radiator clearance, addition of hood prop brace.
One item that is not noticed until the hood is raised is the change made to the hood latches and pins. This also caused the change to the latches. A big item that changed from to was the location, material type and method of identifying the vehicle with a VIN tag. The tag changed from a stamp imprinted aluminum tag to a reverse embossed stainless steel tag. The method of attachment changed from a Phillips screw filled with bond in to being spot welded to the steel steering column tube in Some people think that all hoods from through are the same but they are different.
The hood changed for by losing the formed lovers. Later years required clearance for the radiator attachment to the "horse collar" radiator support and was modified making them different. Starting in a brace was added to the left front hood lip at the hood prop area. The stress of opening and closing the hoods caused the fiberglass to move and stress so the brace supported this area by being bolted to the metal filler attached to the inner fender.
Thank You for stopping by.
