    I owned 1959,1973,1979,1981,1982,1986 Corvettes - the 1973 and 1986 are still in our family. We thoroughly enjoyed every one!

      11:19-24... one of the world famous Toledo Scales made here in Toledo, Ohio, just south of Detroit... "no springs, honest weight"... (at any elevation) ... we still make Jeep Wranglers, Jeep Cherokees, and the soon to be brought back Jeep Pickups... (remember Comanches?)

    I'll echo that these Great Cars videos are great. Well done, great footage, with just the right mix of flash and content. The research department, though, could use some added horsepower. For example, in this Corvette video, no mention is given to the fact that GM was about to can the Vette in 55 when Ford dropped the Thunderbird into the fray. Yes, the T-Bird evolved into the "Doctor's Wife's Car" but for the first two years it scared the pinstripes off GM management. Hell, if FORD thinks there is a need for a two place sporty car, then it must be legit. This gave the Vette two more years to finally get to the 57 model, real performance, and a commitment from management to go ahead with what became the 63 Sting Ray, with independent rear suspension and real handling. Even the most ardent Vette and GM fan will admit the T-Bird saved the Corvette.

    My favorite Vettes are the early 1953 and the beefy,curvy C3 (1982). I'd love either or...

    Oh, that 1957 Corvette with the Rochester fuel injection (optional) and the Borg Warner T10 cast iron case 4-speed (optional).

      ​@@KingRoseArchives I am loving all your Great Cars videos. I wish all 52 episodes could be available on one set of DVDs or Blu-ray discs sometime soon. You should eventually create updated versions of these videos.

    I notice that early Corvettes and Thunderbirds have windscreens much too low to protect the driver and passenger from wind, rain, bugs, etc... for the sake of design maybe.

    I will always love a Corvette. As for the new models, it's not a Corvette w/o the round tail lights. Just my opinion...

      I can understand how you feel. Unfortunately, it's highly unlikely that the good old days of the Corvette will ever come back. I mean look how long it took to get a mid-engined Corvette to market.

    Slight error in the "continuous production" claim I believe... Technically, there was no '83 model. Production problems and a strike pushed 'em back to '84 model year is my understanding. If I'm misinformed, let me know so I can stop making a fool of myself!

      There were 1983 Corvette models made but they were just prototypes and not sold to the public.

    I am a little miffed at how this film glosses over the entire C3 (1968-1982) series, which was enormously successful (just look at how long these were in production and how many were made!), and many would say has the most classic and iconic Stingray styling. Next the narrator starts to heap praise upon the relatively characterless and forgettable C4 that followed? What gives?

      And the C4 didn't get its due, either. But then, rarely does the C4 get its proper praise. Definitely an underrated model, there are many of us Corvette owners who feel the C4 really truly was the first REAL sports car from GM. Yes, the previous models were fast, and sexy, and with proper mods would handle. The C4 evolved into a great off-the-showroom-floor sports car. Yeah, early models had issues, but the overall design of the car was great. So, three cheers for the C4. They never will be worth the same as the mid-year (C3) nor as capable as the C5's and on, but they were a big part of Corvette history.

    The Vetts from 83 on, aren't Vetts. Ugly with no style. The 2020 Vetts look like they put took an old Lamborghini, and cut away parts of the body.
