- '63-'75 CORVETTE CONVERTIBLE TOP INSTALLATION - Page2. Glad you're still with us. As you can see its a little involved. Years ago we used to do a simple top replacement in one day. The pads and straps back then were only five or six years old and didn't warrant replacement. Today its a top restoration and usually takes us three to four days to.
- By 1960, Corvette production reached 10,000 vehicles for the first time, and the option list continued to grow with six new colors available and an aluminum radiator option on the 270 and 290-hp models. 1961 Corvettes were technically still part of the first generation of 'C1' or first-generation solid axle Corvettes.
