The 1963 Corvette Sting Ray is certainly one of the most iconic and recognized automobiles ever built. It was the first-ever production Corvette coupe that featured futuristic fastback styling, sporting the unusual styling element for its time period - the divided rear window.
In addition to the split rear window, it also has numerous other design elements that make it a true stand out. Among them are the rotating headlamps that matched the sharp-edged front end with the 'eyes' closed. For the coupe, the doors were cut into the roof, which made entry/exit easier in such a low-slung closed car. Faux vents are located in the hood and on the coupe's rear pillars.
The Sting Ray's interior carried a new interpretation of the twin-cowl Corvette dash motif used since 1958. It also incorporated a new glovebox, an improved heater, and a cowl-ventilation system. A full set of round gauges included a huge speedometer and tachometer. The control tower center console returned, although slimmer, but now containing the clock and a vertically situated radio. Luggage space was improved as well, but due to a lack of an external trunklid, cargo had to be loaded behind the seats.
Though not as obvious as the car's radical styling, the new chassis was just as important to the Sting Ray's success.
This car represents a true family affair. The family owners purchased the car in 1986 and have since shown it throughout the country, garnering numerous national awards and recognition.
