The C3-chassis Corvette was launched in 1968 and was also known as the Corvette Stingray until 1976. 1978 was the Corvette’s 25th anniversary and saw numerous changes, the biggest of which was a “fastback” style rear window. Improvements included better aerodynamics, increased luggage capacity, and better rearward visibility. Metric tires were offered as standard equipment along with a larger 24-gallon fuel tank.
