This isn't a trick question, and I honestly don't know the answer,
but hopefully some kind lister can help me out.
The new Corvettes are being called the "C5" model, and that stands
for "Corvette--5th Generation". This much I got from the brochures
and from a Road & Track article. The problem is, I count SIX
generations, including the new ones:
1953-1955 or so (blue flame six, no cove, etc.)
1956?-1962 (cove on side)
1963-1967 (Sting Rays)
1968-1982 (Stingrays)
1983-1996 (ever-popular pimp car)
1997-present (modern C5 incarnation)
Is Chevy lumping the first nine years together as one generation?
That's all I can figure. Anybody have any more information?
Thanks,
Scott
