Wow! When I look at it like that...I feel younger! I was 1-1/2 when my 69 was produced!

The first is Mako Shark (I) for C2.
Some think Mako Shark II for C3 was the only one & commonly leave off II.

C2- Mako Shark I
C3- Mako Shark II
II had a fastback & was restyled for the 69 auto show w/ back similar to 74-77 & renamed the Manta Ray. Notice that was done after C3 came out.

You're old if you were already on the streets when the 53s went into production.

So what was the 53 line-up preview like Mike?
