1988 C4 Corvette

By 1988, Chevrolet produced approximately 900,000 Corvettes in the 35 years since America's sports car bowed in 1953.

Little changed in Corvette's appearance this year, except for restyled six-slot wheels.

Optional 17-inch wheels looked similar to the standard 16-inch wheels, but held massive P275/4OZR-17 Goodyear Eagle GT tires.

Suspension modifications were intended to improve control during hard braking, while brake components were toughened, including the use of thicker rotors.

Under the hood, the standard 350-cid (5.7-liter) V-8 could breathe more easily with a pair of modified aluminum cylinder heads.

Performance also got a boost via a new camshaft, though horsepower only rose by five.

Both a convertible and a hatchback coupe were offered.

Corvettes colors were

Silver Metallic
Medium Blue Metallic
Dark Blue Metallic
Yellow
White
Black
Dark Red Metallic
Bright Red
Gray Metallic
Charcoal Metallic.

The only standard two-tone combination was White and Black.

Interior trims came in Blue; Black; Gray; Red; Saddle; and White.

A removable body-color roof panel for hatchbacks or body-color convertible top was standard, along with cloth-upholstered seats.
