1969 FACTS
@ The 1969 Corvette body is very close in styling to the 1968 model. One
apparent external change is the addition of the “Sungsay” script above the
from fender side louvers. The 1968 model was devoid of any side trim
idenuficabon of markings.
© The outside door handie was changed on the 1969 model to the type used
for several following years. The door opening mechanism was incorporated
into what was strictly a finger depressson grip in the 1968. The depression
button used in 1968 was eluninated entirely and replaced with a near-flush
key lock.
© 1969 is the first year for use of the 350 Ci engine. This replaced the 327 CI
engine line winch had been used sue 1962. These were not “all-new™ en-
gines, but samply the new generation of small biock V-8 Chevy engines de-
twed from the orginal V-8 introduced in 1955. External appearance is very
simular to previous small blocks.
© 1969 1s the first year for use of 8" wide wheel rims.
© in 1969, styhsts incorporated the back-up lights into the inboard tailamps.
This was a return to the system used in 1966. A single lamp above the ucense
was used in 1967. in 1968, the lamps were under the bumpers.
© 1969 is the first Corvette to feature the steering column ignition lock. The
Syste was designed to be an anti-theft device. it locked the stzering shaft in
place when the hey was removed and made “hot starung” more difficult.
© The steering wheel ia the 1960 model was reduced in cameter from 16° to
1S".
© Map packets were added to the passenger side dash area in 1960.
© 1960 is the fst year for use of the headugnt washer system.
