GM body codes
Sorry for the stupid questions but what does the C in C1-C8 corvette mean is it just for corvette? Did corvette not have a regular GM body code because it wasn’t a Fischer body?
i thought it was the GM body code like A body for GTO, GS455 or F body for camaro/firebird but C body for 50’s to 70’s is for big Buick, olds and caddy models

Of all the years I have been reading up on these cars I never read where GM gave a code letter no know my 94 FSM stated Y body. I would think that started with the 84 model. So not sure on earlier models
