This eighth-generation Corvette C8, released in 2019 and whose origins date back to 1953, is completely overhauled. It is even almost a revolution. The engine remains a V8 (it has been a tradition since 1955), borrowed from the C7 and updated. But if its predecessor was a front mid-engine sports car, this C8 is the first mid-engine Corvette.

At that time and until the mid-1970s, American models were modified every year. Here we have a Styleline Coupe Hardtop with a 1952 front grille. That year, Chevrolet’s production reached 1.2 million units, all versions combined (sedan, coupe, convertible and wagon). All equipped with 6-cylinder engines. In Station Wagon in red colour since June 2022.

La Nova appartient à la gamme Chevy II lancée en 1962 et qui va jusqu’à proposer des 4 cylindres. La Nova conserve toutefois des 6 cylindres. Cette génération de voitures américaines, compacte (4,65 m), affiche un style nettement assagi par rapport aux modèles de la fin des années 1950. Il s’agit ici d’un coupé hardtop de 1963, la carrosserie la plus produite, cette année-là, de la Nova.

Introduced in March 1979, this Corvette C3 was made by California Custom Coach, a coachbuilder founded in 1975, known for with its replica of the Auburn 876. Forty units of this 4-door Corvette, 75 cm/30 in-longer than the regular model (overall length: 5.43 m/214 in), were to be produced per year, with the consent of General Motors. But in the end, only 5 models were made.

Ce tout-terrain arrive dans la gamme Chevrolet en 1969 en version 4x4 puis se décline en propulsion dès 1970. Il reçoit une refonte complète dès 1973, reproduite ici. Le Blazer mesure alors 4,68 m de long et s’installe durablement sur le marché nord-américain des “light trucks” compacts. Cette version découvrable n'a été proposée que jusqu’en 1975.
