1960 Corvette Specifications
Total Production = 10,261

This was the first year that Corvette offered an aluminum radiator. You could no longer order a fuel injected engine with the automatic transmission option. Outward appearance was nearly the same as the 1959.
FIBERGLASS FACT: 1960 was the last year that the Corvette featured "teeth" in the radiator grill.
