The Corvette has been produced by Chevrolet since 1953 as a two-door, two-passenger sports car across eight generations (C1 to C8), with the eighth being the current generation. It is currently the only two-seat sports car produced by a major US auto manufacturer. The Corvette was named after the smallest class of maneuverable warships. It was originally introduced as a convertible and the coupe was added in 1963. The 1978 Corvette is part of the third (C3) generation (1968 to 1982) and was the 25th anniversary. During this generation changes were made to the bumpers to meet safety standards and new emission rules resulted in decreased engine performance until towards the end of the generation. The new 25th anniversary model in 1978 included a fastback glass rear window, new interior, and new dashboard. There was also an Indianapolis 500 Pace Car and Silver Anniversary model limited editions produced. There was a total of 46,776 1978 models made.
