1962: Last of the C1 Corvette
Although it might not be obvious, there were a lot of changes in the cove area for the 1962 Corvette. The lip that bordered the coves was part of the fiberglass, not a separate trim piece as in previous years. Without the trim brightwork, it was not possible to offer the coves in a contrasting color. Above left: The simulated vent with three small spears featured in 1961 was replaced by a separate trim item.
