Chevrolet Corvettes, they're as American as Ford Mustangs and amongst my favorite classic cars Last year I went to my local Corvette dealer to purchase an old-school 'Vette as an everyday car. But after talking to the owner of the dealership, I decided to put my corvette purchase on hold… long-story short: the cost of maintenance for an old-school ride can add up. I may be putting my purchase on the back-burner, but we can all still admire the pure hotness of a classic 'Vette today…

When it comes to style while riding in a 'vette, I say keep it clean– tailored suits, with or without a tie, nice pair of lace-ups or loafers.

The Story: The 1973 model year was the 20th anniversary of Corvette production. This is a one year only model, 1st year of the soft nose and last year of the chrome rear bumpers. Not since 1963 has there been another one year only model. In 1973 the Feds required a front bumper that would meet the federal government's 5 MPH front impact protection regulation. In 1974 the Feds required the rear bumper to meet impact regulations. In 1975 the Feds also required cats in the exhaust that eliminated the Big Block from Corvettes forever. Chevy could get the 454 to pass the clean air emissions, but could not make a car that would last 50,000 miles, as required by the law. This was also the first year for the use of radial tires over the previously used bias-belted tires. Only 15% of the Corvettes produced in 1973 had the LS4 “454”.

Nice post.
I love the Corvette! The 1969 drop top is my favorite. The sting ray is a close second. Some day I will own this car and go for long summer drives.
