Recognizing the success of the second-generation Corvette’s inaugural year, most of the styling changes that were made to the exterior of the 1964 Corvette Sting Ray model were subtle.  The most notable change involved the replacement of the rear split window that had been introduced in 1963 with a single piece of glass. In addition, the faux hood vents that had adorned the 1963 model were removed, though the recessed areas remained, giving the 1964 Corvette hood a distinctive look all its own.
