  FIRST GENERATION-C1 (1953–1962): The 1954 Corvette was the product of a two-door wagon concept car. Early production Corvettes were also fitted with the Chevrolet Powerglide two-speed automatic transmission
• 
  SECOND GENERATION-C2 STINGRAY (1963–1967): The Sting Ray featured hidden headlamps, non-functional hood vents, and an independent rear suspension. Today these are among the most coveted and valuable Corvettes ever built
• 
  THIRD GENERATION-C3 (1968–1982): C3 coupes featured the first use of T-top removable roof panels. It introduced monikers that were later revived, such as LT-1, ZR-1, and Collector Edition.
• 
  FOURTH GENERATION-C4 (1983–1996): The fourth generation Corvette was the first complete redesign of the Corvette since 1963.
• 
  FIFTH GENERATION-C5 (1997–2004): The C5 had a top speed of 291km/h and was judged by the automotive press as improved in nearly every area over the previous Corvette design, thanks to the car's much increased structural rigidity and much more curvaceous design.
• 
  SIXTH GENERATION-C6 (2005–2013): The C6 Corvette retained the front engine and rear transmission design of the C5, but was otherwise all-new. New bodywork with exposed headlights (for the first time since 1962), a larger passenger compartment, a new 6.0 liter engine and a reworked suspension geometry were all part of the evolution.
