Corvette Evolution: How it Became an American Legend

[roadsterz4]

It isn't an exaggeration to claim that the Chevrolet Corvette, the first true American sports car, is the most famous model ever to come out of the U.S. There were probably more important cars, such as the Ford Model T, more popular cars like the Ford Mustang, and more influential cars such as the Jeep.However, the Corvette, a model that is also regarded as a brand, outlasted all of them in longevity, fame and popularity amongst car fans everywhere.

So far....

I'm not against you on the longevity point but would argue the Mustang is the most well known US car in the world having sold vastly bigger volumes despite the 11 year seniority of the Vette.

In fact, I know from owning a Corvette C5 and a Mustang that many people still don't know what a Corvette is.
