7 Awesome Vintage Corvette Ads

1. Corvette: America's Sports Car

Today, decades after its introduction, everyone knows that the Corvette is America's sports car. When Chevrolet rolled out the revised 1960 'Vette, they didn't pull any punches when explaining what the fiberglass wonder was all about. Because the Corvette was, and is, more than just a straight line bruiser - it's a quick, light, and nimble car that's also capable of cruising around in complete comfort.

2. Corvette Beats the Exotics

In the 1980's, if you wanted a fast car, you likely had to look outside of America. This classic ad reminds everyone that the Corvette beat all of them in a head-to-head comparison. Naturally, it wasn't the fastest car in a test that also included the Lamborghini Countach, Porsche 944, Ferrari 308 GTS, Lotus Esprit Turbo, and Porsche 928 S, but it did present the best performance for the money out of the bunch.

And they weren't kidding. A host of ultra rare Corvettes was built back in the 60's, proving that Chevrolet was dedicated to providing Corvette buyers exactly what they wanted - even if it was a factory built race car.

5. More Kicks Than a Sack Full of Jackrabbits

Sports car are often about compromise. Some handle great but don't have a ton of power, while others are fast in a straight line but feel like trying to pilot a giant yacht around the twisties. The Corvette, however, does it all. Whether you want to take a slow and comfortable cruise, hit the stoplight drags, or spend a weekend carving up canyon roads.

6. Adventure is Corvette's Business!

Who needs a Jeep when you've got a Corvette? Alright, so this one might be a bit of a stretch. But even if nobody ever goes rallying in their vintage Corvette, you should at least know that it's quite capable of doing so. And if you decide to stick to the paved roads, it won't make you any less adventurous in our eyes.

7. Phantom of the Opera Coupe

Most think of the Corvette as a fast and capable sports car, but Chevrolet wants you to know that it has an elegant, gentlemanly side as well. So be sure and take a break from all that drag and road racing every once in a while. Heck, dust off that tuxedo from prom and take your significant other out to the opera. On the other hand, have you ever been to the opera? Maybe just pick a nice dinner spot instead. You can thank us later.
