The Chevrolet Corvette first appeared in 1953 as a unique American entry into the sports
car market dominated by European makes. Although not a muscle car by definition, the Corvette
used muscle car powertrains and has represented American performance for almost fifty years.
The Sting Rays were the automotive success story of the year. Chevrolet had to add
a second shift to its St. Louis, Missouri assembly plant to keep up with demand, and
dealers reported owners waiting months for their cars to be built. By the end of the
model year, Corvette production would surpass the 20,000-unit milestone.
Chevy stayed with the status quo again for the 1975 Corvette, when the only physical change was
a pair of small extrusions with black pads for each bumper as additional parking-lot protection.
New for 1975 was a breakerless electronic ignition system, accompanied by an electronic
(instead of mechanical) tachometer drive. A headlights-on warning buzzer was added per federal
dictates. Though little more was new besides the advertising, Corvette sales continued to climb.
The 1975 sales tally rose to within 300 units of the 1969 peak at 38,465.
