The 1982 Corvette was the
last of a generation. The body shape dated to 1968 and the chassis to 1963. In
honor of the 1982 status, Chevrolet offered a special Collector Edition which
was the first Corvette with the base price exceeding $20,000. Production in
Bowling Green began in 1981, and 8,995 cars were built that year. The new plant
closed in October of 1982 to begin retooling for the 1984 Corvette.
