THE GREAT THING ABOUT WHITE COLOR PAINT IS THAT IT IS EASY TO MATCH, MUCH MORE FORGIVING IN HIDING BLEMISHES AND SWIRLS, SCRATCHES, LOW MAINTENANCE COLOR, STAYS ALOT COOLER, LASTS THE LONGEST.

auto makers buy white paint by the train-tanker-car loads...so I wouldn't bet on any model not having a white option.

Isn't white just a base coat for real Vette colors?

You are correct in it hiding blemishes and swirls however it's not an easy color to match. Ask any body shop owner about that one. White can be very tricky to match.

They have to keep white available for all the shoppers that couldn't make up their minds what color they really wanted.

Default White diamond
I think it's about time for the Corvette to add white diamond tint coat! If the Tahoe can have it so should the Vette. It would look awesome

Just for the record there was only one 1983 Corvette. Real production started in 1984.
