Re: With C7 out, how do you rank each generation's styling?

Here is how i rank the different generations of the Corvettes:
Number 1 is the C2 generation(i have always liked the C2 best. Even since i was a little boy)
Number 2 is the C3 generation(this is the chrome bumpers from 1968-72)
Number 3 is the C1 generation
Number 4 is the C7 generation
Number 5 is the C5 generation
Number 6 is the C6 generation
Number 7 is the C4 generation

Re: With C7 out, how do you rank each generation's styling?

To paraphrase a t-shirt from a number of years ago, 'Sure, they made a Corvette before '68, but who cares?'

Did you mean AFTER?

Actually the one I remember said "Sure they made a Corvette after 1967, but who really cares?" and "Chevrolet stopped making REAL Corvettes in 1967"

2 (1967), 2 (Non-1967), 1 (Later), 1 (Earlier), 3 (Earlier), 3 (Later), 7, 6, 5, 4

So either give me an early classic model or give me the newest you got.

Re: With C7 out, how do you rank each generation's styling?

Without splitting hairs early/late, chrome bumper etc. my ranking of each generation's styling:

1/2/3/7/6/5/4

What is yours?

You can't be this general. C1's had four different body styles and were not the same underneath. The live axle, frame, and drum brakes are the only things that are similar about 53's and 62's, and the design of those things are different. These should be different models, just as the C2's and C3's are. 56/57 is my favorite style of all, but you can keep the 61/62.

For your survey, C1 (as qualified above)/2/3/6/5/7/4

Jack,

Your recollection of the t-shirt is correct, and matches my recollection.

But as I said, I'm paraphrasing. 'After' was my word of choice.

I'm sorta with Mike (post #7); scary when Mike's right, ha ha. I rank them; 2,1,3, whatever...old guys think alike.

George, I guess because we were all fortunate to have the same or similar automotive experiences. Steve
