Corvette Part III
Left: Designer Larry Shinoda was not a tall man, but he did accommodate them by supplying a cut out in the roof to make entry / exit easier for taller enthusiasts in the low slung Corvette.
Right: The hood of all 1963 Corvettes had faux vent grills. The story is that originally they were functional but the hot air escaping from the engine found its way into the passenger area via fresh air venting in the cowl.

1963 saw the introduction of "Sting Ray" as a Corvette moniker. It would continue into the C3 generation, be retired occasionally and even shortened to "Stingray".

Right: The 327 cubic inch fuel injected mill continued as the top performer with 360 hp, well beyond the one hp / cubic inch milestone. The air cleaner and Plenum chamber (affectionately known as "the doghouse") were updated.
