I've had 2 Corvettes in the past, 1961 & 1968 and have not been too excited about the design in recent years until the new one came out. I don't know when they changed to the non pop up type headlights with the clear plastic covers. I think it was 2005. That was a real design improvement in my opinion. The new design really made the car come alive from every angle. Some of the older ones remind me of doorstops.
Congratulations, I'm sure you'll enjoy it.
