This was the 25
th
anniversary for the Corvette and Chevrolet introduced the
most extensively redesigned Corvette since 1968. 25th Anniversary emblems
appeared on the 1978 Corvette. The Corvette was honoured as the Pace Car
for the 1978 Indy 500 and to commemorate the event, Chevrolet built limited
edition Corvettes with their own VIN number sequence. The Wall Street Journal
ran a front page article about the 1978 Indy Pace Cars, indicating they would be
an excellent investment.
