1963 Corvette Headlights

that is genius

I like how the headlights rotate like 120 degrees.

Fiero's rule!

[keyofdavid88]

Ugh! All you Corvette snobs. The Fiero was half the price and handled BETTER. That's why it was killed when Pontiac perfected it in 88.

[Stopmotionist]

Don't forget it had a four-cylinder engine and a plastic interior worse than the Corvette's, riding on the Chevette chassis and overheating all the time.

[keyofdavid88]

The fire issues were only in 84 and were recalled and didn't happen anymore.

In 85-88 it had an optional v6 that took it into the low 15s and it rode on a newly developed "space frame" that in 84-87 borrowed suspension parts from the Chevette.

In 88 Pontiac got their OWN design out on the lots which was like driving a different car and had nothing in common with anything else.

THAT is when GM killed the Fiero.

[Stopmotionist]

However you look at it, there's no way that GM killed the Fiero to preserve the Corvette. They were targeted at completely different demographics.

[caganb]

I had two of those. They rode like crap, were pretty junky, rattles, etc, but the looks you got were unforgetable. The best looking car ever.

[keyofdavid88]

They then took the "horrible concept" of the Fiero and started the Saturn division, all of them being based in the same "space frame" design and having the revolutionary body panels that were hard to dent and very light and that didn't rust.

Also, the Fiero was 10 times as safe as any Vette and so is Saturn more safe than anything else made by GM.

Best Corvette design was 63-67. And it was also one of the best car designs ever, of any brand, any year. I wish Chevrolet had continued to build and refine this model Corvette the way Porsche continually improved the original 911 design.

Vettes are cool, but a mustang, camaro, Chevelle, GTO, etc are more practical. They have power, and a trunk. Can't even carry a suitcase in a Vette, plus they ride rough, feeling every pothole in the road. Drive one before you buy one! Insurance rates are high, too. But still, the '63 is a work of art!

[tristanduff]

I don't think anyone buys a Corvette for practicality.

[hockonvict]

Or any classic.

[NewDirection4us]

Some classic cars are more practical than others. If you never travel further away from home than the local hamburger joint or DQ then a Corvette is fine, otherwise, a mid-size or pony car with some trunk space is better. I test drove a Corvette once because of it's looks but couldn't get out of it quick enough. The best two days for a Corvette owner is the day he buys one and the day he sells it.
