Corvette fiberglass evolution

[Wally A.]

Sure we started back in 53 with the fiberglass bodied corvette, since then we have seen the progress of laid up body panels,
of course press molded parts and the evolution of metal inner doors and floorpan's. okay guys test your knowledge,
what yrs. did these changes take place up to and including the first year use of carbon fiber panels and aluminum frames and
sub structures. Technology is great, but did we gain or lose on our beloved Corvette sports car?

Re: Corvette fiberglass evolution

I worked for General Tire & Rubber / Fiberglass Division for 32 yrs (started in 1964) and other manufacturers after that until about 2006. I have most of the history during that time. It's a 3 or 4 page story I put together. I've got to go right now, will get back to you.

Did Rockwell supply current production?
