1978 Corvette Indy Pace Car
  This was the 25th anniversary for the Corvette and Chevrolet introduced the most extensively redesigned Corvette since 1968. 25th Anniversary emblems appeared on the 1978 Corvette. The Corvette was honored as the Pace Car for the 1978 Indy 500 and to commemorate the event, Chevrolet built limited edition Corvettes with their own VIN number sequence. The Wall Street Journal ran a front page article about the 1978 Indy Pace Cars, indicating they would be an excellent investment.
