1960 Corvette
The 1960 model was pretty much the same as last years. A new rear suspension swaybar improved the cars handling. Aluminum heads and radiator were introduced but later withdrawn. Standard equipment included: tachometer, sun visors, dual exhaust, carpeting, outside rearview mirror and electric clock. There was now 8 exterior color choices: Black, white, turquoise, blue, silver, green, red and maroon. The cove was still available only in silver or white, but it wasn't unheard of for people to re-do them as they saw fit. The convertible top was available in three colors: Black, white, and blue. 50.1% of '60 Vettes were sold with the optional hardtop. 51.9% were sold with a four speed stick. With the 315 horsepower motor, the 1960 Corvette would go from 0-60mph in under 6 seconds.
