CAR CULTURE
Feast your eyes on our gallery of original advertising images of the C2 Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray, the car that revolutionized the American sports car landscape. Introduced for 1963, the C2 was a complete re-engineering, featuring the distinct, one-year-only split-window coupe and a fully independent suspension that transformed the car into a true world-class handler. These original advertisements showcase the mid-year Corvette's dual appeal: celebrating its sophisticated design—inspired by Bill Mitchell's Stingray racer—while aggressively promoting its immense performance, culminating in the fierce 396 and 427 big-block V8 engines that established the Sting Ray as a high-performance legend on both the track and the open road.
