1978 Chevrolet Corvette

1978 Chevrolet Corvette 25th Anniversary Silver Edition â?" L-82 350 V8, T-Tops, Oyster Leather Interior Why This Car Is Special The 1978 Chevrolet Corvette was not a typical model year update. Chevrolet used the 1978 edition to celebrate 25 years of Corvette production, and they did it with a purpose-built commemorative package called the Silver Anniversary Edition. This was not a simple badge and stripe job. Chevrolet developed a specific two-tone silver paint scheme for the occasion, pairing a lighter silver upper body with a darker charcoal silver lower body, separated by a body-color dividing line. The result was a factory appearance that looked intentional and cohesive in a way that most special editions of that era did not. The 1978 model year also brought one of the most significant styling updates the C3 generation ever received.
