1994 CHEVROLET CORVETTE light

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine In the early ’50s, is was only a
designer’s dream. Today, the Corvette
stands alone as America’s dream car
- a
testament to its unmistakable charisma
and the excitement it inspires. Unique
styling, powerful performance and an undeniable panache have made Corvette
one of the most celebrated sports cars
in
the world.
In 1953, Chevrolet produced 300 new
lightweight fiberglass roadsters.
A
handful went to project engineers,
General Motors managers, and a select
group of movie stars and celebrities.
With a two-speed Powerglide automatic
transmission, Blue Flame six-cylinder
engine, and gleaming Polo White
exterior, Corvette began its drive into
the heart
of America.
Designers freshioned up the ’Vette in
1956 by adding a removable hardtop
and the famous Corvette “coves.” The
sculptured body enhanced its sporty
look, and a standard 2 10-horsepower
Chevy
V8 engine solidified Corvette’s
reputation as a production race car.

You never know if you’ll be in a crash. If
you do have a crash, you don’t know if it
will be a bad one.
A few crashes are mild, and some crashes
can be
so serious that even buckled up a
person wouldn’t survive. But most
;rashes are in between. In many of them,
people
who buckle up can survive and
sometimes walk away. Without belts they
could have been badly hurt or killed.
After more than
25 years of safety belts in
vehicles, the facts are clear. In most
crashes buckling up does matter
... a lot!
Why Safety Belts ;Work
When you ride in or on anything, you go
as fast as
it goes.
For example, if the bike
is goini.10 mph
(16 km/h), so is the child.
