Default grand sports split window?

i know this is a C2 question but plenty of those guys venture in here and it will get way more publicity in here.

did the 63 grand sports have the split rear window? or was that a production vette thing only?

My hotweels grand sport is not a split window. Don't know how realistic they are though.

Same with the Exoto models, and I'm sure they are very realistic...

To my knowledge - none of the Grand Sports had a "split window".....and I believe the orig. photos in my book (published in the early 70's) shows a '63 convertible Grand Sport..... :chevy ;)

The 5 Grand Sports, well, the two or three coupes, did not have a split rear window. They were replaced with a plastic, one piece rear window.

All 5 were coupes to begin with.... the first 2, if memory serves me had the tops cut off. I am not sure about the split window though.. I have a thick book on the grandsports, I'll check it out tonight.
