1984-1996
The C4 Corvette represented nothing less than a radical departure from its predecessor. So much so, in fact, that GM's design team failed to have the car ready for the 1983 model year as planned. And thus, the public had to wait until January of 1983 to be able to order their radical new 1984 Corvette. Chevy had teased the public for years with futuristic Corvette concept cars, and the production C4 certainly lived up to the hype they had created.

Regular Corvettes received new wheels in a standard 16-inch or optional 17-inch.
In 1991, Chevrolet rolled out a refreshed Corvette sporting its first significant styling changes. These changes included:
1993 was an important year for the Corvette, marking its 40th year of existence with its special anniversary package including Ruby Red paint, leather and special badges.
