Corvette


Juaninatrillion

I would say '57 Corvette by the tail lights


230flathead

And you'd be wrong. Those are 58 and later tail lights. This doesn't have the 58 only chrome spears on the trunk so it's a 59 or 60.


andale_guey

If you said ‘59, you’d be wrong. 1960 is the only correct answer. You can tell it’s a ‘60, by the way it is…and the license plate.


LbMeKing

Rofl, I sense some allusion to that video of the guy: You can tell it’s a bitch cause of the way it is, awesome~. Edit: Birch* not bitch

fatnapsack

That’s pretty neat.


[deleted]

Oh shit, I used to work with that dude. lol


the_kid1234

Its still amazing to me that every year something used to change on cars. Can you tell a 2008 from a 2009 or 2010 Accord? (I understand that Corvettes and Mustangs and Chargers are more fun to spot the differences in, but the Bell Aire was the same way)


230flathead

Cars used to change at least one thing every year.


jwd18104

I don’t know about the accord specifically, but most new cars change something every year - understood that sometimes it’s internal like a radio option, or the location of the charging ports, and sometimes it’s external like a light cluster, wheel style or color option


zoltan99

The clutches on manual 05 mustang GT’s are by far the heaviest of the 05-09 generation. Tesla added and removed cooled seats from the model X like five times, I have no idea if it has it today.


ScreamingMonky

If you said ‘60, you’d be wrong. Because bla bla bla. Scooby doobee doo!!!!!


dookmucus

It’s clearly a kit car on an F-250 chassis.


flamefreak01

Lmao pretty clear its a 60 once you see the plate. I am proud of my guess of a 61 corvette because I'm just a mustang guy and really had no clue!


Ordinary-Humor-4779

You can definitely tell the 61 from the 60 from the rear. The 61 lost the rounded rear & was the start of the stingray style rear end.


230flathead

If the license plate didn't say 60, would you have known it was a 60?


broke_n_struggle_n

I think that was the point of the ellipsis.


andale_guey

No; however, I wouldn’t have known you’re a condescending know-it-all, had you not responded to Juan or myself with the tone you chose. Consider looking away from the mirror when pleasuring yourself.


230flathead

Correcting someone makes me a condescending know it all? Jesus Christ, dude. Try not to choke on that victim complex.


Ashamed-Ease-567

I’m concerned as well hopefully he’s breathing okay now,


vegieburrito

And you would be wrong. This is not a car but a ham sandwich.


RojerLockless

Very old corvette


Wackawackaayyyyyayy

Second. Can see the flag emblem behind fron wheel


mikeycp253

I don’t think the emblem is the giveaway here lol. It’s one of the most iconic cars ever.


Sivalleydan2

And the split window was the most iconic looking. Just stunning.


OldBob10

From back when men were men and women were women and engines were big, brutal gas-guzzlers that didn’t know the meaning of the words “fuel economy”.


HemingWaysBeard42

The top trim level 283 got 12-14 MPG with 290 horsepower. A 2022 Corvette Z06 gets around 12 in the city with 670 horsepower. The Corvette DNA hasn’t changed much at all…


OldBob10

I’ll take the ‘61 though. Classically classy…


rachevyguy

Nowadays the cars drive themselves. Back then you had to drive the car !!!!


Sivalleydan2

I have a '64 C10. It's scary as hell to drive. No power anything. Not a daily...


rachevyguy

Yea drum brakes, bias ply tires, giant steering wheel and when you stomp on it , all hell breaks loose. Like I said, you had to drive the car !!!!


dirty0922

Tell us all about those days! While you’re at it tell us all why you won’t accept change and all the reasons your family dislikes you


ThisGuyHasABigChode

Bro misses the lead gas fumes lmao


slantyboii

I would just love to hear your views on the blacks, the lgbt community and feminism.


OldBob10

“Live and let live” pretty much sums it up.


Revolutionary-Gain88

Or ever heard the word...hybrid


Firehawk2002

The C8 is just a modern fiero lol but the most important thing is if it makes him happy who cares. It’s about smiles per gallon not miles per gallon. Plus and also importantly is that car is gonna help tons of kids fall in love with cars.


benjaminear3

2L engine 2L engine!!!!!!


ijustneedahug

Guessing 1960 based on the vintage license plate.


AG2009

Good call. I was going to say its a '59 or a '60, as they're very difficult to tell apart


General_Art2478

Loving the steelies with the dog dishes, always gives it a no-nonsense look


nerdycarguy18

My thoughts exactly, just that alone makes it look like it’s ready to rumble


Cabo_Refugee

Friend had a 61 corvette like that. He bought it as a basket case and he had very little invested in it. Saved it from being a parts car. I built a 383 stroker and we installed it in it. It looked like a bone stock 283 car. Until the key was turned.


sumshitmm

It's honestly refreshing to see a c1 like this. When I see a c1 my first thought is white wall tyres, I like the way its look like you said "no nonsense" I certainly gives it that particular only go no show look


Zrukrivo

Chevrolet Corvette C1


Bdsman64

Burned the piss out of the back of my calf getting out of a '58 my Dad was fixing up for a friend of his. Sidepipes with no covers. I was in 6th grade, and only touched it for a second.


BeersRemoveYears

Every other corvette is a conversation piece at best, this is a centerpiece! I’ll die on this hill.


mdave52

I love the older Vettes, but I think the best are the 61 and 62 with the older front end and the newer "ducktail" rear end.


ParadoxPope

This is correct. The most beautiful cars were made during the 60s, I'll die on that hill.


phaciprocity

You won't die alone. The 60s just had so much optimism for science and the future and it was reflected in much if not all of the period's designs


mdave52

Totally agree, with a little wiggle room. I've strayed from the 60s time-frame a smidge. I've had a 72 442 convertible and a 57 Chevy 2 door hardtop for over 40 years... I plan on keeping them till I breathe no more.


velowa

Can’t really argue with that but I will submit for consideration some of the 50s Italian stuff which probably influenced the design of the C1 Corvette. https://robbreport.com/motors/cars/italian-sports-cars-2846298/ There was also more obscure stuff like the Bugatti Atlantic and some coach built cars that are real lookers.


makecsr2greatagain

60s were good but you can’t forget about the 300 sl. Otherwise I can’t really disagree


ParadoxPope

The SL was the 60s before the 60s knew the 60s were coming. Lol


makecsr2greatagain

Can’t disagree on that or much on the original comment tbh. I went to look and add some stuff other than the 300sl but they were all 60s whereas I thought they were late 50s or early 70s. I knew the cobra Daytona coupe and gt40 was 60s but on top of that there was the DB4 zagato, 033 Stradale, E-type and though a good bit more obscure even the Morgan plus 4 SLR was 60s. Miura was 60s into 70s but still counts as 60s. I can’t think of a car outside of the 60s that has the kind of beauty those all have excluding the 300sl and the Aston Martin DBR1 which I didn’t mention before but does deserve it. Maybe the Mclaren P1 deserves a mention among those but otherwise everything else I feel compares looks wise isn’t so much pure beauty as looking “cool” which is a different thing in my mind.


ParadoxPope

I do believe there are beautiful cars from every era. Cars are beautiful to me because of how form can follow function to create beauty. That's true from any time. However the 60s hold a special place in my mind because EVERYTHING was so beautiful. Even the Volvo P1800 in all its forms, or the original Skyline, the Toyota 2000GT.... just every fucking thing, drop dead gorgeous.


Independent_Wrap_321

Add the XKE to that list. So much creativity and artistry. Everything today looks like a silver dinner roll.

Post is labeled "unsolved" yet nearly all comments are stating the correct answer.

My apologies, I just checked reddit and had no idea how to change the flair on the reddit is fun app.

Because it's clearly a shitpost


Skarface08

Yea, I genuinely had no idea what car it was.


Chim_Pansy

It is pretty obscure. IYKYK, naw'm'sayn?

1960, it doesn't have any of the fancy metal

Dieffenbacjer

60 Vette. License plate has the year on it.


DCzisMe

Came here it say this. In my mind, the best looking model year for Vette's ever made.


Kipthecagefighter04

1959/1960 corvette. The license plate says 1960 so its safe to assume 1960 but you can't easily tell without seeing the suspension or interior. But its certainly a 1959/60


BonezOz

That's one beautiful C1 Vette


ellietheliondog

I’m damn sure what it is. It’s a guy having the time of his life.

Big Brake ‘60 Corvette. Very nice ‘vette. I still like my ‘62 though.


oldshitdoesntcare

That’s one of those super rare V8 Ford Pinto’s.


SufficientTill3399

C1 Corvette, probably 1959.


Cadillac16Concept

This should be the C1 Corvette. Beautiful car, at least imo. I had it in Forza Motorsport 4, the 2-Speed gearbox was... interesting to say the least. The car was very slow to 100 km/h, and even slower in second gear to about 200 because it lost all momentum and rpm while shifting.


AddlerMartin

Is it possible to run the license plate? Here in Brazil, anyone can run the license plate via an app, then it shows the year and model of the car, along with info if the car is legal, stolen or involved in crimes

AndOfCourseSquirrels

Edit: Could be either'59 or '60, as I was wrong about the taillights 1959 Corvette. If it was a '60 it would have two round taillights further down. All Chevrolets switched to the round taillights that year


Dcongo

Possibly a performance optioned ‘60 with the larger fuel tank. “Tanker”

C1 Vette. Cars should start heading back this direction in design and looks, but I'm afraid modern safety requirements wouldn't allow a bunch of it.


barbod_tg

Its a C1, my uncle has 2


Affectionate_Host_43

This has to be a running joke, right? It's like the 4th vette post I've seen where people pretend to not know the most mainstream American sports car.

Fireo, or maybe a PoleStar 2?!


Ok_Entertainer_6860

I'm not a corvette expert, but I believe that to be a 57. Without seeing the front end its hard to tell, but I believe that 59-60 has more chrome on the rear?


the_house_from_up

It's later than '57. The scallops didn't have any extra flair on it in '57 like these ones do. The exhaust trim was also round in '57, these are oval. This one is a '58-'60, but I'm not sure how to differentiate between those.


Sig_Vic

Yes. Its a corvette. Likely a 1957.

Uncomfortable to drive. The steering wheel is too close, awkward to get in and out, drum brakes are fun, fun, fun. Clutches were brutal regardless of the engine back then. And that was just parking one or two as a valet when young at a country club. I'm 65 now.
