1962 Corvette Parts
With the second generation of Corvette just one year away, the 1962 Corvette represented the end of an era. Over the course of just 10 years, major improvements were made to Harley Earl’s conceptual sports car, turning the Corvette into one of the most prized in the world.That said, many Corvette enthusiasts viewed it as a simply “transitional” model. While that designation wasn’t completely unwarranted, there were a few important upgrades made to the 1962 Corvette that set a precedent for years to come — the most notable being the switch to a 327-cubic-inch V8 engine.
The 1962 Corvette was fast, good looking, and handled well. Despite its recognition as a transitional design, many considered it to be the best C1 Corvette model — which was an exciting accomplishment that propelled Chevrolet forward into the next generation.
