1968

Some consider the 1967 the best looking of the early Sting Rays.
Its styling, although basically the same as in 1966, was a bit cleaner.
The same egg-crate style grille with Argent Silver finish was carried over.
The same smooth hood seen in 1966 was re-used.
Big-block cars had a large front-opening air scoop over the center bulge instead of the previous power blister.
The crossed flags badge on the nose of the 1967 Corvette had a widened "V" at its top.
On the sides of the front fenders were five vertical and functional louvers that slanted towards the front of the car.
Minor changes were made to the interior.
The most noticeable was the relocation of the parking brake from under the dash to the center console.
The new headliner was cushioned with foam and fiber material.
Four-way flashers, directional signals with a lane-change function, larger interior vent ports and folding seat-back latches were all new.
At the rear there were now dual round taillights on each side (instead of a taillight and optional back-up light)
The twin back-up lights were now mounted in the center of the rear panel, above the license plate.
Standard equipment included
- a new dual-chamber brake master cylinder
- six-inch wide slotted rally wheels with trim rings
- an odometer
- a clock
- carpeting
- a tachometer.
The optional finned aluminum wheels were changed in design and had a one-year-only, non-knock-off center.
The 10 lacquer exterior finishes offered were
- Tuxedo Black
- Ermine White
- Elkhart Blue
- Lyndale Blue
- Marina Blue
- Goodwood Green
- Rally Red
- Silver Pearl
- Sunfire Yellow
- Marlboro Maroon
All convertibles came with a choice of a Black, White, or Teal Blue soft top.
The all-vinyl foam-cushioned bucket seats came in
- Black
- Red
- Bright Blue
- Saddle
- White and Blue
- White and Black
- Teal Blue
- Green.
