The lines of this car were inspired by the look of a sting ray gliding thorough the ocean. See how the fenders "flip up?" Thus, beginning in 1963, the Corvette also wore "Sting Ray" badges. The rear window of the 1963 model is in two pieces. For 1964-1967 (same bodystyle), the window was one piece, which made rear visibility better, and made the "split window coupe" a sought-after collector item.
