    1961 Corvette Fastback!

    FWIW: Here is a picture of a 61 test mule of the future Corvette that is coming. Larry

    In early 1961, Chevrolet was testing the fastback design for the upcoming Sting Ray Corvette. This snapshot shows a styrofoam mockup of a fastback shape that had been attached to a production '61 Corvette. Since this testing took place many years before GM built its' own wind tunnel, the Corvette team must have bought time in one of the existing tunnels or tested the shape outside at GM's Milford Proving Grounds.

      I have seen on Barrett Jackson recently a C1 with a fast back hard top that went on and looked like a "63 fast back.
      If any one know where to get one, i want to look into it for my '62.
