1967 Corvette

1967 Corvette

This was the year the famous Corvette L-88 made its debut at LeMans. 1967 was the last of what are known as the mid-year (1963-1967) or, as they are being referred to now, C2 Corvettes. Due to the removal of superfluous trim, the 1967 Corvette was the least adorned (and to many of us) the most attractive and collectible of these model years.
