A unique history and legendary design
The 1963 Corvette Sting Ray is considered a milestone in the history of the American automotive industry, and was the first of the second-generation Corvettes. Designed by Bill Mitchell and Larry Shinoda, the 1963 Sting Ray introduced a completely new, aerodynamic design that was both sporty and elegant. The most distinctive feature of the 1963 coupe is the split rear window, an iconic design element that was produced for only one year. This detail makes this car one of the most sought-after Corvettes among collectors.
The chassis of the second-generation Corvette was completely revised and equipped with independent suspension all around, a first for the Corvette. This innovation, developed by the legendary Zora Arkus-Duntov, provided better handling and ride comfort, which immediately made the Sting Ray a favorite among car enthusiasts. The design of the 1963 Corvette Sting Ray remains, to this day, a classic blend of European style and American power and is regarded as one of the most important models in Chevrolet’s history.
