The very first model of the corvette was a convertible - I did not know that!
I had a corvette when I was in high school.
It was named after a warship called a corvette my Myron Scott.  Many kids in my high school wanted a corvette.
Still a cool car to this day. Not sure they are worth the cost anymore.
Yeah looks like they only made them from 1968 through 1982, so parts might be hard to come by I would imagine.
