Model history

The third generation of the Chevrolet Corvette, known as the C3, was introduced in the fall of 1967 and produced until 1982. Starting with the 1969 model year, it bore the name "Stingray," which was also featured as an emblem on the body. Despite initial quality issues in production, the C3 enjoyed great popularity and became a commercial success. However, the convertible model was discontinued at the end of 1975 due to new safety regulations that imposed stricter requirements on open-top vehicles.
