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.
