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.

But you don't consider the Corvette team always wanted to do mid-engine as a forewarning of what was to come if they ever could get it approved?
If it wasn't for GM's bankruptcy, the C7 would have been the mid-engine 'Vette. The C7 was a stopgap generation.
