Don't Like the 2014 Corvette Stingray's Square Tail Lamps? There May Be a Solution...

Even though the dust has yet to settle from the presentation of the new 2014 Corvette Stingray and we won't be seeing the car in showrooms until the end of summer the earliest, some fans of the series have been complaining about the switch from circle to the more Camaro-esque square taillights.

While it's true that the C2, C3, C5 and C6 did indeed have round or oval rear lights, it wasn't always like that as the C4 came with four square-shaped tail lamps and the first Corvette had single lights from 1951 to 1960, with the four-light treatment appearing on the 1961 and 1962 models of the C1 lineup.

New 2014 Corvette Stingray Convertible Rumored to Debut at the Geneva Salon

About a fortnight ago, the internet was abuzz with a set of pictures of the convertible 2014 Corvette Stingray, with the word being that they could be renders of a future die-cast model from Maisto or leaked images from GM's design studio.

If a report from Autoweek is to be believed, then we may have the chance to verify their authenticity much sooner than we originally thought.

Trio of 2014 Corvette Stingrays Pictured and Filmed Out in the Wild

So far, and leaving aside GM's own press photography, we have seen the brand-new 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray on the floors of the Detroit Auto Show, at the recent Barrett-Jackson auction and parked at Jay Leno's Garage.

If that's not enough, then you may want to thank some very lucky (?) members from the Corvette7 forums including Vette_85, who were able to photograph and capture some footage of the seventh generation of GM's halo sports car out in the streets.

Jay Leno has GM Chief Designer Give him a Tour of the 2014 Corvette Stingray, Teases Test Drive

As these lines are written, we bet most road test editors, especially in the U.S., are green with envy. Why? Because a famous car enthusiast, who also happens to have his own motoring show, just beat them to driving the car everyone’s dying to get their hands on.

No disrespect to colleagues, but when it comes to getting first dibs on the 2014 Corvette Stingray, it surely helps if your name is Jay Leno and you are a very high-profile car nut and Corvette enthusiast who also owns a ZR-1.

A Visual Comparo Between the 2014 Corvette Stingray and the 2009 Concept Model

Concept cars fall into two basic categories: those that are a flight of fantasy and which you instinctively know will never ever make it past the motor show floors (e.g. the Peugeot Onyx), and those that preview an actual car that’s still some years down the road.

Even in the second scenario, the designers' main objective is to create a concept to wow the crowds at auto shows. They may think inside certain parameters, but they don’t really have to worry about “little” things such as legislation concerning the height of the headlights or pedestrian impact protection. That is what engineers are for, right?

eBay: This 1996 Corvette Convertible has Only Been Driven for 622 Miles

Among the many events that took place in 1996, Democratic incumbent Bill Clinton won his second term as President of the United States; Dolly the sheep, the first mammal to be successfully cloned from an adult cell, was born, while the British Government formally announced that Bovine spongiform encephalopathy had likely been transmitted to people.

It was also the year that this silver-colored Corvette C4 Convertible was brought into life and handed over to its new owner.

What happened over the next 17 years remains a mystery, but the Detroit sports car was rarely used during this period having covered a mere 622 miles or about 1,000 kilometers.

New Corvette Stingray Imagined Hunkered Down, Riding on Vossen Wheels

Raise your hands if you think you know which car will be one of the stars of the next SEMA show in Las Vegas this fall. You can put them down now as we all know that unless GM chooses otherwise, the 2014 Corvette Stingray will be the poster child of world's largest aftermarket event.

In fact, we're already starting to see speculative takes on tuned Stingrays such as the these two renderings made by Glacius Creations, which is run by Norwegian design Christer Stormark.

This is What the 2014 Corvette Stingray Convertible Could Look Like

It's only been days since GM pulled the covers off from the coupe iteration of the new 2014 Corvette Stingray in Detroit, and even though a convertible body style isn't due for another year or so, images of a drop top version surfaced on the internet today.

The pictures were first seen on "The Auto Insider", a site that may or may not be affiliated with a former Jalopnik editor under the same alias, with the author stating, "I might add, this is no render. No pixels were pushed."

2014 Corvette Stingray Video Roundup: Engine Startup, Press Kit Unboxing and Digital Gauge

The flow of information regarding the new 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray continues with a trio of videos that show some new aspects of the car itself as well as General Motors' promotional efforts targeting the press.

We'll begin our sightseeing with a clip that comes to us courtesy of the crew over at GMAuthority who placed a microphone up, close and personal to the display model's buttocks at the Detroit motor show as GM fired up the 450-horsepower V8 engine.

Sadly, that's all we get as the person sitting inside had no soul in his right foot and turned the engine off faster than the Corvette can go from zero to 60mph. Bummer…
