Stingray Logo?
OK, does anyone remember if Chevrolet actually had/used a Stingray (like the sea animal) logo? Seems to me if such an animal
exists, someone in this forum would have a copy.

JC Whitney once offered a gearshift **** design of a stingray (fish) profile from above with the tail curling around. If you can get a 1967 Plymouth catalog or ad ("Plymouth's out to win you over"), you'll see a very similar "angel/devil" logo, a heart with a devil tail.

Yeah they did. It was used on the Manta Ray concept car. And even though the concept was a manta ray, the actual fish used on the emblem was a sting ray. (You didn't specify a production model.)

Actually, when you look up close, it is more of a manta ray than sting ray, but with a sting ray tail (or a speed line
). Not nearly as "stylized" as the Sting Ray concept car, but more real world.

This is BOGUS! Some wet-behind-the-ears GM employee, who thinks C3s are the oldest production 'Vettes, made this emblem up in the last few years. The tip-off is he/she misspelled the name. The rebodied '57 SS chassis/dream car has ALWAYS been known as the

I think the logo's a lot older than a few years - it's on the car in photographs from the 60's and 70's:
As you say the logo is one word, but the car is the Sting Ray.
There stingray symbol was reproduced by a company (who no longer seem to be in business) a few years ago, but they're available on Ebay occasionally:
