Wikipedia Information"The Chevrolet Corvette, known colloquially as
a Vette or Chevy Corvette, is a sports car manufactured by
Chevrolet. The car has been produced through seven generations. The
first model, a convertible, was introduced at the GM Motorama in
1953 as a concept show car. Myron Scott is credited for naming the
car after the type of small, maneuverable warship called a
corvette. Originally built in Flint, Michigan and St. Louis,
Missouri since 1981, the Corvette has been manufactured in Bowling
Green, Kentucky and is the official sports car of the Commonwealth
of Kentucky. While always being an automobile known for speed and
performance throughout its history, the Corvette has evolved
throughout the generations into becoming the widely
regardedalthough never officially declaredflagship model of the
Chevrolet car brand.""The second generation (C2) Corvette, which
introduced Sting Ray to the model, continued with fiberglass body
panels, and overall, was smaller than the first generation. The C2
was later referred to as mid-years. The car was designed by Larry
Shinoda with major inspiration from a previous concept design
called the "Q Corvette," which was created by Peter Brock and Chuck
Pohlmann under the styling direction of Bill Mitchell. Earlier,
Mitchell had sponsored a car known as the "Mitchell Sting Ray" in
1959 because Chevrolet no longer participated in factory racing.
This vehicle had the largest impact on the styling of this
generation, although it had no top and did not give away what the
final version of the C2 would look like. The third inspiration was
a Mako Shark Mitchell had caught while deep-sea fishing.""With only
771 fuel-injected cars built in 1965, Chevrolet discontinued the
option at the end of the '65 production, having introduced a
less-expensive big block 396 engine rated at 425
hp in the middle of the production year and selling over 2,000 in
just a few months. For 1966, Chevrolet introduced an even larger
427
cu
in (7.00
L) Big Block version. Other options available on the C2 included
the Wonderbar auto-tuning AM radio, AM-FM radio (mid-1963), air
conditioning (late-1963), a telescopic steering wheel (1965), and
headrests (1966). The Sting Ray's independent rear suspension was
successfully adapted for the new-for-1965 Chevrolet Corvair, which
solved the quirky handling problems of that unique rear-engine
compact."American Dream Machines
