Where Did the Sting Ray’s Roof Come From?
When the 1963 Corvette Sting Ray arrived in car magazines and car showrooms in the fall of 1962, the automotive world was stunned! There was nothing like it in the entire industry. And it wasn’t just a pretty, all-new, fiberglass beauty with sexy flip-up headlights, available as a convertible or coupe. Buyers could order a traditional “roadster” (convertible) or a fixed-roof coupe. The new Sting Ray had an improved parameter frame, suspension, and interior. Engine and transmission selections were carried over from 1962.
