Chevrolet Corvette C5 Right Side View

Across from the Heritage Tour trailer was a huge tent with a couple dozen historically significant Corvettes inside. In front were four more luminaries: (from left to right), The Tiger Shark C5 (see Dec. '01 issue for the details); the mid-engine Astro II (XP880) from 1968; the all-aluminum (body included) Reynolds Corvette (EXP 040) from 1969; and one of the two Cerv IVs (a prototype C5 chassis and drivetrain disguised under a lightly tweaked C4 convertible body shell) built in 1993 to allow real-world testing of the new platform in what looked like a normal early-'90s convertible.
