50 Years of the Chevrolet Corvette

1984

After a year’s absence, Chevrolet returned with the next generation of Corvette. The company unveiled the C4 on March 1983. Dave McLellan and his team designed the vehicle. It departed in many ways from the C3 with a new chassis, new styling, and no grill. Still, it looked undeniably like a Corvette with the round taillights, pop-up headlights, and wrap-around rear window. New to the C4 was a glass hatchback, rear bumper/panels made from molding plastics, and an electronic dashboard that displayed graphics for fuel level and other functions. It also included the same L83 Engine from the 1982 model. The first C4 models hit the market in January 1984.
