While this year marks 60 years of the Chevrolet Corvette, the 2013 Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance focused on one of the coupe's most sought after models, the 1963 Sting Ray. General Motors design boss Ed Welburn
was on hand to show off the all-new C7 Corvette, but even the
hard-edged styling of the 2014 Stingray couldn't take away from the
beautiful 1963 models sitting out on the field.
In addition to the original Sting Ray and the 1959 Sting Ray Concept,
some of the other classic 'Vettes included "Big Tank" racecars, an
interesting cutaway coupe, a right-hand-drive Z06 and the
attention-grabbing 1963 Corvette Rondine by Pininfarina. Another
impressive Corvette was the 1964 Corvette XP-819 rear-engine
prototype experimental vehicle.
Owner Mike Yager had the car finished as a driving chassis for this
year's show, but promises the car will be back to its original glory in
time for next year's event.
