C7 stuff

Dunno if anyone has seen this but I came across it while looking for some info on the original 1963 split window Vwtte.

C7 Corvette Will Have a Split Window

Quote:

This was hinted at by the Corvette Stingray concept that was used in the second Transformers movie. "That car is not the next Corvette," says Welburn, "But the split-window is something that I expect for the next Corvette."

See the whole piece here...

That is old news and is said to be a rumor.

IMO there is way too much speculation on the C7.

No, GM is not that stupid. No one would want a rear window that makes it that much harder to see out of.

Hold your horses! That is contrary to what the article says. It quotes Mr. Welburn, head of GM global design and father of the new Camaro as saying, "But the split-window is something that I expect for the next Corvette." The article might correct or it might not be but it certainly contradicts your opinion.

The split window looks good .... But wait! .... Are those rear fender fins straight off a 1959 Chevy?

No, I guess not ... there too fat and ugly to be from a 59 Chevy!
