1963 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray: Biography of a Sports Car

1963-corvette1

The Chevrolet Corvette is America’s native sports car. The “plastic fantastic”, born in 1953, is still plastic, and still fantastic more than 60 years later. Along the way, in 1922, it recorded its millionth sale.  Admittedly it has mutated over the years, but it has stayed true to its roots on every important aspect.  Other US sports car contenders, like the Ford Thunderbird,soon abandoned any sporting pretensions, adding weight and middle aged girth, but not the Corvette.  All Corvette fanciers have their favorite eras: for some it is the purity of the very first generation form 1953; other favor the glamorous 56-62 models; but for many the Corvette came of age in 1963 with the birth of the Sting Ray.
