1969 Corvette: Official GM Photo.
1969 Corvette convertible with vinyl covered hardtop, RPO C08; $57.95. The louver trim below the "Stingray" emblem and behind the front wheels was a 1969 only option: TJ2, $21.10.
Aspiring musicians who were used to carrying their gear with the mid years Corvette coupes were in for a shock when the C3 generation appeared. Cargo volume did a nose dive; an area where nice sized amplifiers once occupied was now suitable for not much more than a tambourine. The solution for many owners was a luggage rack. While it may not have done much for the aesthetics or aerodynamics of the Corvette, it made sense for road trips.
The side exhaust, which had been an integral part of the Corvette "bad boy" image since 1965, went on hiatus for 1968 but returned in 1969.
Back up lights were integrated into the tail lights in 1969.
