The first generation of Corvettes are known for their rounded edges, scalloped sides (starting in 1956) and classic elegance. All Corvettes made between 1953 and 1962 are highly sought-after, and there's a subset of Corvette enthusiasts who claim the '62 (with its blacked-out grille and new rocker panel molding) to be the greatest Corvette ever. It was certainly the best of the first-generation, solid-rear-axle Corvettes. 1962 was also the last year for the wrap around windshield, solid rear axle, and convertible-only body style. The trunk lid and exposed headlamps did not reappear for many decades.
