- Throughout this video, You will know about the history of the Chevy Corvette and the men who designed it. The man behind the Chevrolet Corvette was Harley J. Earl. He started his career working for his father's business, Earl Automotive Works, designing custom automobile bodies for movie stars. General Motors brought him aboard in the mid-1920s to design the LaSalle.
The National Corvette Museum promotes, "Harley Earl is the father of the Corvette. The Corvette was his idea pure and simple." With over 60-plus years in the making, the Corvette has grown into a phenomenal brand and has a unique and amazing history all its own. - Авто та транспорт
I love my 64 Corvette Coupe.
Very well executed and nicely done history of the early Vette's.
Looove the Corvette ZR1, 1991, white on the outside and red in the inside!!! .-). Will my dream come true???!!! .-)
I love all my Vettes but my 69 C3 427 has the most beautiful curves and my fav. (Thank you Larry! Nailed it!) Reminds me of my other love the Dino by Ferrari. My 2 poster cars at 57
I can remember like it was yesterday. I was seven years old in El Paso Texas as I walked to school every morning by the office of a steel company called RAMSY STEEL, when saw a brand new, red, 63 split window Corvette parked in the reserved parking space of the president of Ramsy Steel. I was so stunned I literally was late to school that morning. I felt as if a UFO landed and the space aliens forgot to take their car back into space. To this day my desire to own a 63 split window is overwhelming. If I had a choice to pick a 63 or a new mid engine 2020 Corvette, hands down the 63 is my choice.
Dan Sotelo Aren’t they just absolutely gorgeous.
I remember reading somewhere that the car that was the 1968 corvette was supposed to appear for the 1967 model year. Frankly the powers that be were right to hold off for the additional year because the 68,for all its wild style had numerous quality issues. In that generation I feel as though the best years were from 1970 to1972. Furthermore I still think that Chevrolet could have still gotten a few more years out of the 63to 67 stingrays, and oh by the way the. 67,the car that wasn't supposed to be,was about the best and most refined of its generation
Dan Sotelo Dan I own a 64,72, and a 15 ZO6 the 64 I’ve had for 38 years it’s my favorite so I would agree with you. But I’m saving up for a C8. Don’t wait get a 63 ASAP because they are only going up in value.
Agreed
I love Corvettes’. I have had four. I hope my last will be a C8.
A great look at corvette. I really enjoyed this vlog. Thanks to all that created this. Job well done.
Much appreciated!
63-67 Corvettes Mid Years....yeah baby!!!!!

C2s rule
When I was a teenager I had always wanted a 63 Corvette . Back in 1975 I was a kid of 18 years old . The split window was just a used Corvette . Not the Iconic car that it has become today . Well I never got to buy my Corvette until recently when I paid dearly for it . At 55:50 they talk about owning a vett and how it can make you feel. Even after having a bad day . Well I have to say , it's true . When I would come home from a rough day at work , open the garage door and see my 63 sitting there , a big smile always arises from my face . There will never be another American sports car that will compare to the Corvette , the 63 is the most Iconic Corvette ever made . Altho I do love the C8, I'm not ready to give up my Split Window just yet .
the times when one was sitting up in a car, capable to look outside all around, and not sunk into tanks equipped with sensors and cameras
I remember the pearl white and ivory white Thanks for sharing this video.
Thanks for watching!
C8 is the most exciting develpement since the introduction of the C3 body style in '68. From the absolutely HORRIBLE and Plastic crap C4 on through the C5 which was only marginally better......the C6 and C7 were indeed far better cars and certainly brought the performance potential of the Front engine design to it's ultimate potential yet it's still a big distance of time since the last BIG DESIGN improvement of the size seen in the first 3 generations of the car. The C8 finally shows a return to real automotive risk taking and huge change in the quest for a better and different car. These are again exciting times for Corvette fans.
Drive or own Corvette.. it's drive or own part of the American history
Clambake ,movie car they painted it red ,latter it returned to silver ,Larry also had a big hand in the design of the 69 fastback mustang boss 302
I have a 77, and 79 both mildly hot rodded. Love em both. Very aggressive feal.
“Mildly hotrodded” coming from vehicles with less than 200hp factory doesn’t take much
@@redram5150 just headers, cam, long tubes, intake. They run like a Corvette should run.
Steve douglas for that period, they were meant to run with under 200hp
@@redram5150 don't think this makes sense.
Steve douglas look up the specs for late 70s Corvettes
Did I see a ''General Lee'' corvette in the museum?
corvette nomad, what a concept
11:13 That's the Palace of Fine Arts in San Francisco.
Alsome job enjoyed it love the corvette👍
Glad you enjoyed it!
Why are your left and right mirrors tilted in words, are the mirror plate gaskets installed upside down.
Get in your Vette and roll thru the curves see you out there
I'm still looking for the retro high-tech throwback super bad best design I love that one more than I do the 63 split window and that's my favorite car of all time when it comes to sports it even beat that and where the hell is it too much damn clickbait
Saw an ad a few years ago for a 1968 Corvette , 350 , 4 speed , power NOTHING ! 15000 US .
I didn't buy it but it sure sounded like a lot of fun for the money.
327 or 427 in 68 only
No 350

Maybe not but that's what the ad said , it was in Auta - buy a couple years ago . Sounded like a lot of fun for $ 15000 !

Sorry, you used the wrong picture to illustrate the 2 Rotor Corvette. It was a Pininfarina built design, in Metallic Red.
enter the c8 and it changes EVERYTHING
150 hp , 11.5 s de 0 a 100 kph , 169 kph

5:50 Why was Curtis LeMay triumphant? Did someone tell him we won the Korean war?😣
We didn't?
@@rudolphguarnacci197 It was a stalemate.
Early Corvette design was great but the car was poorly built
