1963 Chevrolet Corvette Commercial

I had a '63 Corvette in 1964. I had to chuckle at the commercial when the Corvette 'winked' at the girl with one headlight. That was actually somewhat of a problem with early Corvettes. Only one headlight would open and the other would stay shut!

Was'nt the big problem w/the split window poor rear visability? That would seem to be the biggest reason to eliminate it from the 1964 model.

The split window is so rare. most vette owners took it out right away. Now it is prob the most disired of all the 60 models. Foolish move to remove the split.

Ahhh when GM had their act together, those days will be missed.....

"Not everyone" is an understatement, JD. I recall most everyone simply hating the split window. It was so ill-received that Corvette promptly did away with it the following year. I think it's popularity today is wildly funny, thinking back to those days of loathing.

Not everyone removed the split window. My dad had one. 2nd owner (yes, in the 60s); EVERYONE loved it. Fun to drive and sculpture on wheels. The split was never a problem (the owerglide tranny and the power windows were,,,)

Who said anyone "removed" the split window? All I said that almost everyone heaved their lunch when they saw it in '63, and that Chevy did away with the split in '64. Those are the facts, Jack. That is all.

MQUEEN10 - axemann7000 said "most vette owners took it out right away." Others made similar comments. You simply said "most everyone" hated it.

Perhaps. I'm well aware that the '63 is the only year with the split window. But I recall many who appreciated the aesthetics of the split window when the car was made - and many still do.

Whichever model is your favorite - enjoy!

Okay, maybe "hate" is too strong a word. Let's just say that the majority of people did not like the split window in the '63. I see them at car shows all the time now, and I still don't like it. It's a matter of taste, though, like you say. Carry on.

BEST  LOOKING VETTE EVER !!!!!
