cardinal Posted July 13, 2006 Share #1 Posted July 13, 2006 Advertisement (gone after registration) I saw these this summer in a small park nearby. M2 with Summicron ASPH with Efke film. Not sure what years these were made though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted July 13, 2006 Posted July 13, 2006 Hi cardinal, Take a look here A Couple Corvettes. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
abrewer Posted July 13, 2006 Share #2 Posted July 13, 2006 More very pleasing photos, Bill! The first is early sixties; the second is late fifties...that's as far as I can go, but I know Stuart and others here can pinpoint the years of manufacture more specically. Thanks for sharing.

stuny Posted July 13, 2006 Share #3 Posted July 13, 2006 The first is between '63 and '67 -- the Stingray body style. The second (my all-time favorite Vette) is either a '61 or '62, and the character line over the rear wheel that goes back, across the boot and to the other rear wheel well is characteristic of the '61 & '62. I also like the tones and tonal range of the 2nd. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peyton Hoge Posted July 14, 2006 Share #4 Posted July 14, 2006 The second is a 1962. A '61 had chrome trim around the scoop. The '61 & '62 models had the upper cut rear end which Chevrolet referred to as the "Sting Ray" rear end. In 1963, the Corvette Sting Ray was introduced. In addition to the convertible, there was the Fastback Split window coup in '63. The only year with this feature. In my opinion, the '62 is still the sexist car ever made.

stuny Posted July 14, 2006 Share #5 Posted July 14, 2006 Peyton - Where is the scoop that had the chrome ring around it on the '61? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peyton Hoge Posted July 14, 2006 Share #6 Posted July 14, 2006 The scoop is the oval shaped recessed area that runs from the rear edge of the front wheel openings to the middle of the doors. Peyton Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuny Posted July 14, 2006 Share #7 Posted July 14, 2006 Advertisement (gone after registration) Peyton - Thank you. That decides it: I much prefer the '62 to the '61. Thanks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
