The 1963 Split Window Is Voted – BY YOU – as the Greatest Second-Generation Corvette of All Time!

We asked and you answered!  Last week, we posted a poll on our Facebook page asking you to tell us which second-generation (C2) Corvette you thought was the “Greatest Of All Time (GOAT)”? While a lot of you agree with us that the 1967 L88 Corvette was a definite contender, it was the 1963 Split-Window Corvette that reigned supreme as the fan favorite…and so, we felt compelled to do-what-we-do-best – namely, dive into the history of this amazing machine so we could share with you everything that makes the 1963 Corvette the greatest second-generation Corvette of all time!
