Default C7 Question

This past weekend a fellow club member asked a question about the C7 logo that nobody had an answer to. Is there a reason why the 63-67 Sting Ray was 2 words and the C3 and now C7 are one word? Just curious.

Quick Google search... I recalled my Father telling me this when I was younger, at a Car Show.

And also notice one is Sting Ray (C2), one is Stingray (C3) and now we have StingRay on the C7s.

Because people used to write in Cursive back in the 60's.
Nowadays that's "Old School" per Rachel Jeantelle.
