This isn't a trick question, and I honestly don't know the answer, 
but hopefully some kind lister can help me out.
        The new Corvettes are being called the "C5" model, and that stands 
for "Corvette--5th Generation".  This much I got from the brochures 
and from a Road & Track article.  The problem is, I count SIX 
generations, including the new ones:

1953-1955 or so (blue flame six, no cove, etc.)
1956?-1962              (cove on side)
1963-1967               (Sting Rays)
1968-1982       (Stingrays)
1983-1996       (ever-popular pimp car)
1997-present    (modern C5 incarnation)

Is Chevy lumping the first nine years together as one generation?  
That's all I can figure.  Anybody have any more information?
Thanks,
Scott
