For a car enthusiast, few things are as riveting as admiring the antique cars and learning about the collector cars at a car show. One of the most well-loved collector cars is the split-window Corvette, a beautiful, timeless model from 1963. The split-window Corvette is one of the most popular and recognized models in the Corvette fleet, which is why it has earned its rightful place among a long list of premier collector cars. No matter if you’re an educated automobile fanatic or simply like to enjoy the trip down memory lane, this car is impressive on every level. 

The split window Corvette is valued highly by collectors because it was only in production for one year. The model of the car is quite unique and was designed with an aquatic predator in mind – the mysterious stingray. This vehicle features fenders that rise and peak at all four corners, mimicking the graceful lines of a stingray’s wings. The iconic split in the rear window carries the car’s signature “spine,” finishing the iconic body collectors know and love. 

The Corvette has a reputation as one of America’s most beloved collector cars, as it embodies style, muscle, and speed. GM was infamous for being the most innovative and inspiring automobile distributers, and its 1963 split-window Corvette fit perfectly into their fleet of unique and ego-boosting cars. The car encapsulated the latest and greatest in automobile technology and mechanics, combining classic style and power with the sleekest and most modern technology possible. 

Today, collectors know that this car is an essential part of any complete Corvette collection, as it reflects a time of creativity and massive innovation in the industry. The car was designed with the combined passion and charisma of Zora Arkus-Duntov, Bill Mitchell, and Larry Shinoda to create a rendition of “America’s Sportscar” that would not soon be forgotten.
