1963 | Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray

Motors Corner is pleased to present this sublime Corvette Stingray C2 Split window from 1963

This is a 1963 "split window" model which is one of the most legendary models of the sports brand of General Motors. The 1963 vintage of the Corvette sees the birth of the Sting Ray. Futuristic, the design of the newborn, due to Bill Mitchell, has a head start. The car has the effect of a bomb: its shape inspired by sharks and the large flat areas of its hoods, favored at the front by retractable headlights. The year 1963 also marks the launch of the first Corvette coupe. Unfortunately, this superb style trait will disappear the following year in favor of a panoramic bezel.
