Here's a picture of the first Corvette model.  It was the 1953 Corvette Roadster.  It only could come in that white color, and it only came in automatic transmission.  You are seeing 1 of the only 300 that were produced!  The engine was a 235 cubic inches, 150 horsepower "Blue Flame 6".

 

Here is a picture of the '68 Vette, which was the second design change in the Corvettes history.  In this style, you could get a Sport Coupe, or a comvertable.  And once again, they upped that raw horse power in the Vette. Now you got a 327 cubic inch engine with 300 horse power!  You also got even more of a selection in color. 

 

Here is a picture of the first design change in the Corvette history.  Now you could buy it in Coupe style, or convertable.  They also upgraded the engine almost by 100%!  In the '63 you got a 327 cubic inches, 250 horsepower engine.  You could also have a choice in color of your car.  And the produced 21,513 with 10,919 convertible, 10,594 coupes!  As where 10 years ago, there were a measly 300 produced.  That shows how great the Corvette has been loved and admired in a matter of years.

 

Here is a picture of the '83 Vette.  Only 40 were made, and none were able to be purchased!  But here is the ONLY picture I could find.  I also have NO info on it, because the remaining one, I could not find specs on.  Sorry.
