By 1985, the Chevrolet Corvette no longer relied on nostalgia. The chrome-heavy muscle-car era had faded, and buyers increasingly expected precision, electronics, and high-speed stability rather than only V8 soundtracks.

Underneath, however, Chevrolet engineers were working within tightening emissions rules and fuel economy pressures, […]

Sunbelt tourism, expanding interstate highways, and the growing culture of recreational driving shaped the atmosphere into which the 1968 Ford Mustang Convertible emerged.
