What automobile-loving child has never dreamed of owning, or at least getting a chance to sit behind the wheel of a classic American Corvette? Like those still interested in going to a Rolling Stones concert, the appreciation for Corvettes is a legacy, due to its steadfast commitment to impressing the North American auto industry. Will this tradition continue into the future when fossil fuels and global warming have a greater impact on auto industry?

The Corvette Stingray isn't just about speed and performance, it's a huge part of American culture. Year after year, Chevrolet creates art when they produce the Corvette. From the amazing 1967 Corvette to the 1976 Corvette Stingray to the high-powered explosive 1993 ZR-1, each generation of Corvette manages to impress. Hopefully this will continue for many years to come.

It's no surprise that this car is at the top of everyone's wish list. Millions of North Americans have their own stories about owning their own Corvette Stingray, whether it was your grandfather's polo-white 1953 Corvette with the red interior and a black canvas top, or your dad's banana-yellow 1971 LT-1 Corvette Stingray.

The Corvette Stingray history is extensive; each car tells its own tale, and with that the stories live on with each new generation of Corvette (and owner!). Maybe you'll let your son drive your 1978 Corvette Stingray Special Edition, or maybe he'll pick out his own electric-powered 2015 Corvette Hybrid when the eco-friendly cars of the future take the stage.
