Return of Corvette Coves!
The Coves are Back! Well, sort of. The wonderful styling element last seen in the late 50s and early 60s made a subdued return in 1997.
Designer renderings reveal the thinking behind the C5 Corvette. Here we see fluid shapes that, although different from the production car that found its way into Chevrolet dealerships, did strongly influence the final outcome.
The dash was also all new for the C5. It was more of a dual cockpit motif and hints of the C2 interior were present; note the grab bar for the passenger (right) which would be familiar to the passengers in C1 and C2 Corvettes.
More room in the footwell area was a welcome improvement; there was even room for a "dead pedal" on the far left so drivers could brace themselves during hard cornering. Entry and exit was easier due to a almost 4" lower door sill area and larger doors.
