Although the auto industry has run for the hills, we’ve found a way to keep it alive with for the existing car consumer by giving them some tunes to ride around to as the summer has officially kicked in. Drop-Top Music will features just that; our favorite picks of yesterday’s and today’s greatest drop-top vehicles and our weekly music picks. This week’s vehicle is a 1970’s Chevy Corvette. The 1970’s were a time of great change for Corvette. While a late production start for the 1970 model year prevented the first cars from rolling off the assembly line until January, sales rebounded in 1971 and continued to climb. But at the same time, outside forces, such as the oil embargo and increasing government regulations, were having an impact on Corvette performance. The Convertible model was dropped at the end of the 1975 model year. The next Corvette Convertible would not be available until 1986. Corvette celebrated its 25th anniversary in 1978 and, in recognition of this event, was selected to be the Official Pace Car of the Indianapolis 500.
