The 1961 Chevrolet Corvette was given a complete facelift from the 1960 model. Well, it wasn't so much as a tail-lift: 1961 was the first year of the four-taillight read end. (I guess the asterisk sometimes attached to 61* can be put next to "facelift" instead ;))

Production numbers approached 11,000, with Ermine White still the most popular color. Interior space was increased by close to 20% as the transmission tunnel was narrowed, and the Corvette trademark grill teeth were gone.
