The C2 Corvette Redefined Sports Car Design in the 1960s

Joseph Cacciatore is a Winnetka, Illinois, real estate entrepreneur who has led Jos. Cacciatore & Co. for more than half-century. Joseph Cacciatore, passionate about vintage autos, restores Chevrolet Corvettes from the 1960s for world-class certification and judging.
Produced from 1963 to 1967, the second generation Corvette iteration, the C2, redefined the landscape of American sports cars. Created from the concept XP-755 Mako Shark, Larry Shinoda designed it in tandem with Bill Mitchell, chief of GM Styling and Design. The front engine compartment and fender became a key design innovation. Situated with the chrome grille bumper, it evoked the triangular nose of the original shark-inspired concept car.
The 1963 C2 Sting Ray had other striking design aspects, such as folding and pop-up quad lights to hide them when not used. The first-year C2 also featured a unique split rear window that Bill Mitchell had placed his weight behind for design inclusion. Upon release, the design received criticism for aesthetic reasons and for partially obscuring the driver's rear view. The following year, a heavily curved single-glass pane replaced the split rear, which makes the latter models highly sought after by today’s collectors.
