The 1979 Chevrolet Corvette was part of the C3 generation, which Chevrolet produced from 1968 through 1982. By 1979, the Corvette had evolved into a refined combination of sports-car styling and improved comfort, while retaining the distinctive long hood, short rear deck, and removable T-top roof panels that had become hallmarks of the C3. The 1979 model year was particularly successful for Chevrolet, with the Corvette benefiting from strong demand and continued development throughout the decade. Available with V8 power and automatic or manual transmissions, the Corvette remained Chevrolets flagship performance car and one of Americas most recognizable sports cars.
