Chevrolet Corvette C5 1997 Car Cover | Custom-Fit, Multi-Layer Waterproof, UV-Proof & All-Weather Outdoor Protection

Built for Your Chevrolet Corvette C5 1997 — Fifth Generation Launch Year

The 1997 Chevrolet Corvette C5 is the launch year of the fifth generation — one of the most comprehensively re-engineered Corvettes in the nameplate’s history and a quantum leap forward in American sports car engineering. The C5 was built on an all-new hydroformed perimeter frame — the first Corvette to use this construction technique — which created a dramatically stiffer and lighter structure than the C4’s ladder frame, enabling superior handling dynamics and NVH refinement. For the first time in Corvette history, the transmission was moved to the rear axle in a rear-mounted transaxle configuration, achieving near-perfect 50/50 front-to-rear weight distribution and transforming the C5’s handling balance compared to every previous front-engine, front-transmission Corvette. The 1997 C5 is powered by the all-new 5.7L LS1 V8 (345hp) — the first of the legendary Gen III small-block family — replacing the LT1/LT4 with an engine that was lighter, more powerful, more fuel-efficient, and more technologically advanced than anything previously fitted to a production Corvette. The LS1 featured an all-aluminum block and heads, sequential fuel injection, and a design philosophy that prioritized high output with real-world usability — the foundation of an engine family that would go on to power some of the greatest American performance cars ever built. The C5’s body was constructed entirely of composite panels mounted to the hydroformed frame, with dramatically improved panel fit and finish compared to the C4. The 1997 C5 was Coupe only — the Convertible joined for 1998 — making the 1997 Coupe the sole inaugural example of the fifth generation. The Car Cover Customs Chevrolet Corvette C5 1997 Car Cover is precision-patterned to the C5’s exact launch-year body profile for a factory-tight fit with zero bunching and zero exposed panels.
