yeah. Not very good as the C3 had a bunch of different styles in it's long run.

C4 had 2 pretty different versions at least.
And I'm sure the C1/C2 had a bunch of different versions within their runs too.



Plus... I want to see actual size. I'm sure the new ones have gotten much longer...yet they scale all them to the same frame size.

The C2's didn't change very much at all, but you're right, the C1 had quite a few styling changes, but to me the biggest major change was the 1961 and 1962 C1's, because they had the 'ducktail' rear end, that actually ended up on all the C2 'verts!

Yep, the C4 had two renditions, the early 84-90 cars and the 91-96 late C4's. As far as length, oddly enough, the Corvettes got shorter after the C3. My '95 C4 is actually shorter than my '74 C3!
I always thought i the C4 would be longer and it's really because of the optical illusion that the hood on the C4, looks 'longer', along with the tail.

they used a '73, so that covered the chrome bumper and rubber bumper cars I guess.
