The
appearance changes were again minimal for 1972. The 1972 Corvette was the last to feature
front and rear chrome bumpers, a bright "egg crate" grill, side fender grills
and the removable rear window. This was the last year for the RPO-LT1 and RPO-ZR1,
although the ZR1 code was again used in 1990 and the LT1 designated a new base engine in
1992.
