For the departure of the C6 generation in 2013, Chevrolet decided to take things a step further and build a truly remarkable special-edition as a send-off to their most-respected and most-celebrated Corvette to date – the Corvette 427 Convertible. The 2013 Corvette 427 Convertible served double-duty as a commemorative edition model. While it marked the departure of the sixth-generation Corvette, it also commemorated the sixtieth-anniversary of the Corvette brand, first introduced in 1953 with Harley Earl’s Stovebolt-Six, two-seat cabriolet.
