In 1963, Corvette introduced its all new Corvette Coupé and Convertible models called the Sting Rays. This was the very first time Corvette was available as a hardtop coupe model as well as the traditional convertible. Both cars featured an all new body design that was more stylish than the previous generation. It was also the first year for concealed Head lights.
It also features an all new chassis, that includes an independent rear suspension. The 1963 Sting Ray Coupe featured a Split rear window design, but it was replaced with a single piece rear window in 1964 because owners complained about visibility.
