1982 Corvette: Collector Edition Celebrates the Last of the C3s

1982 Corvette Collector Edition
It was well known that a new generation of Corvettes was in the works and that 1982 would be the last of the C3s. The occasion was commemorated by a special "Collector Edition" Corvette. Exclusive to the Collector Edition was a frameless hatchback supported by gas struts making access to the storage area much easier.

A distinctive two tone silver-beige paint was also part of the Collector Edition with a gradient or "fading shadow" motif on the side (above) and hood (below). A clear lacquer top coat added gloss and depth. Distinctive cloisonnè emblems completed the package. The look was unique and years later is still positively embraced.
