Split-window Chevrolet Corvette imagined
Iconic 1963 split-window Sting Ray design brought back to life on new C8 Corvette
In 1963 a number of significant events occurred that changed the world forever: the assassination of US president John F Kennedy took place, Valentina Tereshkova became the first woman to travel into space, and in the car world the iconic split-window Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray busted out.
Following the 1953 original, the second-generation Corvette also made its debut in 1963, along with the Sting Ray name, and in that year only the split rear window was deployed. Train-spotters will know the name became Stingray with the C3 Corvette in 1968, then disappeared until the C7 in 2014.
