How do you remove the Corvette C5 front license plate cover?
For the rear plastic one, insert a thin blade screwdriver in the slots (two on each side of the frame about 1" from the top/bottom) and push back the tab while applying pressure to pull the frame away from the license plate. There are 4 snap tabs on the frame that just need to be pushed back to disengage from the body slots. Be careful, they're not very sturdy.
The above answer is apparently for the rear, but I'll leave it there. The question was for the front, so... the front C5 license filler has a wide tab at the top that slips up into a slot in the front nose. It is held up there by two small Phillips head screws at the bottom of the filler.
If you get on the ground and use a flashlight to look into the thin gap between the bottom of the filler plate and the bumper recess, you should be able to see a screw a couple of inches in toward the center from each lower corner.
Use a small Phillips screwdriver to remove the 2 screws. Then you pull the filler plate out at the bottom just enough to clear the bumper and then pull it down to disengage the top tab.
If you need a new filler, the current part number for a GM replacement (unpainted) is 10288540. They are around $110. If you do a Google Shopping search for that part number, you should be able to take a look at some pictures of one so you can see the wide tab and 2 screw holes. There are usually some on E-bay.

Where did the Corvette get its name from?
from a WW2 battleship
Sorry; WW2 is a great answer but not enough information to be completely accurate.
Perhaps a history lesson or history class was missed.
FACT:
Actually it goes back to 1670 from the French. In 1670 the french invented the name corvette and it referred to Ships. Corvette: French steam corvette Dupleix (1856-1887). You should see the modern day Corvette! Turkey has one and is a sharp vessel.

Where is the rear window defogger switch located on a 1976 corvette?
Not sure about the '76, but the rear window defogger switch on my 1970 Coupe is located at about seat level on the left side of the center console (tunnel) cover. It is about 6" to 7" off the floor and just under the dashboard.
You have a sticking valve or the problem is in the heater control. I have a 1998, and the temp control knob has to be turned back and forth in order to change from hot to cold. I don't know if the knob goes to a cable or if it has an electrical sensor. ==another possibility== You may just have a stuck or bad thermostat. This has happened to me on several cars ovedr the years and 9 times out of 10 the thermostat was bad. This can happen as normal wear and tear over time or because of a faulty cooling system. If the temperature gauge runs hot sometimes this could very well be the case.

Replace the turn signal flasher on a 1986 Corvette?
I had my 1986 corvette flasher changed and was surprised to find the "secret" location. It is located on the passenger side under the dash approximately where a passengers left knee would be. Of note it's the same 2 prong flasher as the emergency flasher (which is behind the information center) Some pictures I downloaded showed both emergency and turn flashers behind the information center but I assure you that mine was not there, it was under the dash, passenger side. Good luck
Where is the oil fill pipe on a 1977 corvette?
Actually there isn't an oil fill "pipe." You pour the oil into one of the valve covers after removing the provided cap. It drains through the heads and down through the block and into the pan that way.
While an engine is cold, water vapor condenses and comes out the exhaust pipe as white vapor on a cold day. After the engine warms up, the exhaust pipe is hotter allowing the exhaust gasses to be hotter as they come out the tailpipe. When that occurs, the water vapor dissipates long before it can condense. Don't worry about it if it's just white vapor that goes away after the engine warms up. It's a normal product of the combustion of gasoline. On the other hand, if the smoke is grey and smells like oil, it can be an indicator of a problem. The oil smoke smell is in all probability the valve stem seals or the oil drain ports in the heads are stopping up.
