| 1959 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Concept - Red (AUTOart) 1/18 Diecast Model Car
The Corvette Stingray was built in 1959 to explore the limits of handling and performance of the future Chevrolet Corvettes. This experimental concept car was designed and built in 1959 by then Vice President of GM Styling, William L. Mitchell. He designed this unique thin-shelled fiberglass body for the minimum racing weight possible. The vehicle has an advanced multi-tubular chassis with dedion rear suspension and inboard rear brakes.Powered by a fuel-injected, high performance Chevrolet V-8 engine, this vehicle was campaigned as an independent on the sports car club circuit in 1959 and 1960. The Stingray was raced at Laguna Seca, Elkhart Lake, Cumberland and Lime Rock race tracks, just to name a few.After it's racing days were complete, the vehicle was retired and now is part of the vintage concept car collection, owned and cared for by the General Motors Design Center.
