11: 1987 Chevrolet Corvette
As GM progressed through the ’80s, the Corvette line was at an impasse. The problem was new EPA regulations choked the engines’ performance. The 1987 Chevrolet Corvette was a step in the right direction. The car was modernized in a lot of aspects to create a more driver-centric vehicle. GM still managed to stick to the original formula that made the car fun to drive in the long run. Corvette owners are particularly fond of this generation because of the unique digital dashboard and other features.
The Corvette evolved a lot with this generation, and that especially benefitted the 1987 model year. There were options such as a Targa top and a unique set of wheels. Much of the later Corvette lineup was sterilized after this vehicle. The 1987 Chevrolet Corvette is not the fastest car of the ’80s and ’90s, but it’s an important piece of Chevrolet history. You can’t go wrong owning a Corvette from this generation if it has been maintained properly.
