1993 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible 40th Anniversary Edition

No. 167 of 207

1993 marked the fourth decade of America's sports car with a very special commemorative edition - the 40th Anniversary Edition. This was an option package that was made available on all 1993 Corvette models, Coupe, Convertible, and ZR-1. All 40th Anniversary Edition Corvettes and only 40th Anniversary Edition Corvettes are Ruby Red from the inside out. With a unique deep-shining metallic, special 40th anniversary emblems, and stunning ruby red interior. These Corvettes are truly a celebration of Corvette history.

The 1993 Corvette was the classic American two-seater. In addition to Corvette's LT1 V-8 engine, the 1993 Corvette also included sophisticated fully independent suspension with precision-crafted aluminum componentry, an all-disc-four-wheel anti-lock brake system, and a traction-control system.

The 40th Anniversary package (priced at $1,455) was available in both standard and Z1 models and included power driver seat, special wheel center trim and 40th anniversary emblems inside and out. The Corvette's ride was refined by reducing front wheel and tire width, and for the first time in GM history, was offered with a passive keyless entry system.
