The 1960 Corvette Specifications

1960 was the first year that Corvette offered an aluminum radiator. You could no longer order a fuel injected engine with the automatic transmission option. Outward appearance was nearly the same as the 1959. 1960 was also the last year that the Corvette featured "teeth" in the radiator grill.
