Car Forum / Chevrolet / Chevrolet Corvette / February 2007Pre 70s Corvette and / or Stingray
I have been looking at the pre-70's Corvettes over the internet, the ones with the flatter snout or the original style I think, and found that some are actually Stingrays. Is Stingray a variant of Corvette or is it a whole different model by itself? Confused.... Its not a model in and of itself ; think of it as a 'tradename' that was used in the 1960's...then it was dropped for awhile...then it was used again on Corvettes. >I have been looking at the pre-70's Corvettes over the internet, the > ones with the flatter snout or the original style I think, and found [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > Confused.... Not a model by its self, just a name added in 1963, and has been Sting Ray and Stingray depending on the year.... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chevrolet_Corvette is a fair history on the Corvette.

It is the second generation or mid-year Chevrolet Corvette built and marketed by Chevrolet. 1963 would see the introduction of the new Corvette Sting Ray ... started in 1963 and ended in 1967. 1963 would see the introduction of the new Corvette Sting Ray coupé with its distinctive split rear window and fake hood vents as well as an independent rear suspension. The split rear window was discontinued in 1964 due to safety concerns. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chevrolet_Corvette vettes started in 63 being a "Sting Ray" (two words) then around 70 or so (could be wrong about the exact year) they became a "Stingray" (one word). Not sure exactly when they stopped putting the "Stingray" badge on the car. my2¢ Signature"Key" =====
