A LOOK AT HYBRID STYLED CORVETTES

CasualCorvettes@AOL.com

IN THE EARLIER DAYS OF CORVETTES, MODEL YEAR CHANGES SOMETIMES TOOK ON A TRANSITION WHERE ONE END OF THE CAR WOULD CHANGE, BUT THE OTHER HALF OF THE CAR REMAINED THE SAME. TAKE FOR INSTANCE THE REDESIGN OF THE REAR END OF THE '56 VETTE WHERE THE JET POD TAIL LIGHTS WERE DROPPED AND THE SMOOTHER "FRENCHED" TAIL LIGHTS TOOK OVER. SIDE COVES WERE ALSO ADDED THIS YEAR, BUT THE FRONT REMAINED MUCH THE SAME. IN '57, THE WHOLE FRONT END APPEARANCE CHANGED, BUT THE REST OF THE CAR REMAINED MUCH THE SAME. AGAIN IN '61, THE REAR END TOOK ON THE DUCKTAIL APPEARANCE, WHILE THE FRONT REMAINED THE SAME.

WHAT IF THAT TREND CARRIED ACROSS GENERATIONS OF CORVETTES? WHAT WOULD THESE HYBRID CORVETTES LOOK LIKE? SOME EXAMPLES ARE SHOWN BELOW.
