What you are looking at is as American as Old Glory, the Fourth of july and the Statute of Liberty all rolled into one. While the Corvette has been a national icon almost from the day it hit the streets in 1953, when the 1967 Corvette appeared all the icon rules were broken. Take a survey of Corvette owners and ask them to name their most favorite Corvette of all time and, by golly, you’ll get the 1967 Corvette.
    And chances are they’ll name the big block ‘67. After all, who can’t resist that sexy stinger hood and that distinctive deep-throated rumble through the sidepipes? And to think that the 1967 Corvette wasn’t originally planned to share the classic mid-year body. The new Mako-inspired Corvette was scheduled for 1967 but held back a year instead.
