Corvette history: First year for dual headlights, and only year for chrome rear windstrips on the trunk lid. Whole new body panel design, new interior, and for the first time seat belts were no longer an option, now being factory installed. The speedometer now gave a reading up to 160 miles per hour. The louvers on the hood were non-functional, adding to the looks. Of the 8 color choices, 2/3 were either White, Blue, or Charcoal.
