Some details from a Corvette History website- 1977 CORVETTE Changes were fairly modest this year and mainly hidden (such as a steel hood reinforcement) or inside. New crossed-flags emblems stood between the headlamps and on the fuel filler door. A thinner blacked-out pillar gave the windshield and side glass a more integrated look. The Corvette's console was restyled in an aircraft-type cluster design, with individual-look gauges. A voltmeter replaced the former ammeter. New heater/air conditioning controls, an ashtray, and a lighter were on the horizontal surface. A recessed pocket was now seen behind the shift lever. Automatic transmission levers added a pointer and automatic shifters added a new black leather boot. A shorter, locking steering column held a multi-function control lever. This year's steering wheel had a new leather-wrapped rim to replace previous Vega style 4 spoke steering wheel. The Custom interior, formerly an extra-cost option, was now standard. All-leather seat panels. Door panel inserts were satin finish Black instead of the prior wood grain. New padded sunshades could swivel to side windows. Passenger-side roof pillars held a soft vinyl coat hook. Power trains were the same as in 1976, but power brakes and steering were now standard. New options included an AM/FM stereo radio with tape player, cruise control (for cars with automatic transmission only), and a luggage carrier that could hold the roof panels. Glass roof panels were announced, but delayed for another year. I.D.
