The second-generation Corvette (1963–1967) elevated the nameplate into true world-class territory, combining striking design with serious performance. Introducing the now-legendary Sting Ray, this era brought independent rear suspension, big-block power, and iconic styling cues like hidden headlights and the split rear window. Revered by collectors and enthusiasts alike, the C2 generation cemented Corvette’s reputation as both a design icon and a motorsport contender.
