1978 Chevrolet Corvette

1978 Chevrolet Corvette â?" 350 V8, 4-Speed Manual, Red on Red, Clean Undercarriage Why This Car Is Special The 1978 Chevrolet Corvette holds a unique place in C3 history. It was the 25th anniversary of the Corvette nameplate, and Chevrolet marked the occasion by giving the third-generation car its most significant update since the body style was introduced in 1968. The biggest visual change was a new fastback rear window â?" a sweeping wrap-around piece of glass that replaced the old flying buttress design and added both luggage space and a cleaner roofline. Chevrolet also reworked the interior dashboard that year, giving it a cleaner, more symmetrical layout with a redesigned instrument cluster.
