The Chevrolet Corvette skipped the 1983 model year before returning as a 1984 model.
Chevrolet did not sell a production Corvette carrying the 1983 model-year designation in the United States. The company used the period to complete development and certification of the fourth-generation Corvette, known as the C4. That new Corvette went on sale as a 1984 model and introduced a sharper, more modern design with a digital dashboard and a removable glass hatchback.
A small number of 1983 Corvettes were built during development, but they were not released for regular public sale. One surviving example is displayed at the National Corvette Museum. This makes the Corvette’s model-year gap different from a normal redesign delay: the C3 ended after 1982, and the next retail model was the C4 for 1984.
