Sixty years ago tomorrow, spectators lined New York City’s posh Park Avenue, waiting to get a glimpse of the ground-breaking Chevrolet Corvette on display at the General Motors’ Motorama show. On Thursday, the Corvette will be back in The Big Apple, marking the historic milestone with the all-new 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray.

The all-new Corvette Stingray debuted earlier this week at the 2013 North American International Auto Show in Detroit. “The all-new 2014 Corvette Stingray is the most advanced and engaging Corvette in the long, prestigious legacy of this uniquely American success story,” said Chris Perry vice president of Chevrolet Marketing. “It is a car woven into the fabric of American culture and it got its start right here in the Big Apple.”

The introduction of the original Corvette took place at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel on Jan. 17, 1953. That year, more than 1.4 million people saw the curvaceous design and futuristic approach of the Corvette at displays around the United States. Continued HERE.

The 2014 Corvette Stingray boasts a ton of new and cool new technology to match its modern innovative design, but one of the most prominent new features is front and center – the configurable instrument cluster.

Autoblog shares with us their video of the configurable instrument cluster in action, as demonstrated by the Corvette’s Interior Design Manager, Ryan Vaughan.

Select members of the automotive press were invited to the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray and the lucky folks were given a great commemorative press kit, each one being individually numbered.

Each kit contained a black box within a black box holding a flash drive and a Stingray badged paperweight. And of course, with all new and shiny things and toys, someone posted an unboxing on youtube. Check out the video INSIDE.
