IMO, the day that the Corvette dies is when it goes all electric.
There are people, some of whom are on this forum, who would tell you the mentality of the Corvette dying when it goes all electric is the same “get off my lawn” mentality I’m accused of.

The flip-up or fixed headlight debate is not what this is about. They were fixed from 1953-62. Round or square tail lights? No, the square tail lights first appeared on the ‘91 ZL1.

It’s about the look of the Corvette that was always purely American and not trying to imitate Ferrari. Or anyone else. The long nose/short deck, when you look out over the cowl and see the hood a mile in front of you. It always looked “right”.

THAT has always been a Corvette.
