Owner’s Literature (Glove Box Packets)
When Corvettes left the factory, they came with a dedicated glove box packet that included the Owner’s Manual, warranty and maintenance documentation, and factory-issued reference materials. During the 1970s, these packets consistently included emissions control literature, compliance guidance, and ownership resources. Whether you're preserving a survivor or aiming for an NCRS-level restoration, this literature brings factory authenticity to your glove box.
