Old Classic Cars that Were Remade for the Better or Worse

6. 2020 Chevrolet Corvette

As the new mid-engine C8 Corvette arrives in 2020, it's time to look back at 1953's C1 model, which had a two-speed transmission and 150 hp. The base model for 2020 -- there are more to come -- throws 490 horsepower through an 8-speed dual-clutch automatic. Either way, they've somehow carried the Corvette style through the generations, albeit with a deeper wedge shape for greater aerodynamics. Two key changes for 2020: no more manual transmission, and a bit of a stretch to the length, a change to the Corvette size which disrupts a 50-year consistency.
