Why Did Chevrolet BAN Their Most Iconic Corvette Design ?

Описание: The 1963 Corvette Sting Ray is one of the most iconic and valuable Corvettes ever built, with pristine examples selling for over $1 million at auction. But here's the shocking truth: Chevrolet actually BANNED the very design feature that makes this car so legendary - the split rear window - after just ONE year of production.

This is the untold story of the epic battle between two automotive legends: Bill Mitchell, GM's bold Vice President of Design who demanded pure artistic vision, and Zora Arkus-Duntov, the "Father of the Corvette" who prioritized engineering and performance above all else. Their clash over a controversial styling element would create one of the most valuable and collectible cars in automotive history.

Why did Chevrolet kill off the split window after 1963? What made this design so controversial that it was banned despite being absolutely stunning? And how did a "failed" design element become worth millions of dollars?

From the streets to the auction block, discover why this banned Corvette design became one of the most sought-after American sports cars of all time.
