The new sleek aerodynamic design, was riding on a redesigned chassis equipped with four-wheel independent suspension. There was 10,594 coupes produced and 10,919 convertibles produced. This would be the first year that all the Corvettes manufactured were not a convertible (also at times called roadsters), and the only year that the split rear window was available.
