The 1964 Corvette really owes its success to that of its predecessor and first year C2, the 1963 Corvette. As with any line, the first in the series will be the most highly scrutinized and take a lot of abuse as far as the critics go. While this may be tough for that particular year, it is welcomed news for the next model year as all the feedback can be taken in and rolled out with a new model that is better suited to the wants and desires of the masses. Such was the case with the 1964 Corvette.

The 1967 Corvette was the last of a five year run for the C2 generation. Originally, the 1967 was supposed to be a total redesign but top engineers at GM wanted more wind tunnel time and thus the 1967 Corvette became another carry over Sting Ray. While the now famed C3 generation would have to wait one more year before it began, the 1967 Corvette did not disappoint and would prove to be the best of the Sting Ray family and would eventually have many claiming it to be the best Vette ever made.
