2005 Corvette C6 Convertible
The Tradition Continues
Unlike the C5, where a convertible was not available until the second year of production, both the convertible and coupe could be bought in 2005 although the convertible did arrive a few months after the coupe.
GM introduced the convertible at the March 2004 Geneva Auto show, a direct challenge to the European competition. A power top (RPO CM7; $1,995.00) was available and requiring only a delatching of the front bow, was fully automatic and took 18 seconds. The feature was last seen on the 1962 'vette but the 2005 rendition worked much better. Right: the "Waterfall" interior which was introduced in the C5 as a tribute to the C1 Corvettes was back and expanded on for 2005.
