C3

The C3 Corvette arrived for 1968 with a dramatic new body inspired by the Mako Shark concept and continued the Corvette’s U.S. market presence. It introduced T-top coupes and evolved through a long production run that included major styling and emissions-era changes. The generation ended after the 1982 model year.
