Fake Vents Galore
Bill Mitchell’s stingray inspiration was thoroughgoing on the 1963 Corvette and extended well beyond just the name and the split window “spine.” The second-gen Corvette also got gills on the side panels and C-pillar, all of which ended up being fake. That even extends to the large vents on the ’63 Corvette’s hood. Duntov had wanted those vents to be functional. The Corvette’s new design tended to lift off when running at high speed and Duntov intended the hood vents to alleviate that upward pressure. Though they might have been nice for the Z06 racing version, the vents were deemed impractical for everyday use (letting inrainwater to the engine bay, for instance) and thus became merely ornamental.
