Chevrolet Corvette Rondine
Back in 1963, the Corvette Stingray stunned the global auto audience with its fantastic design, sharp edges, split-window feature, and amazing performance. It was the epitome of an American sports car at its finest. However, in Turin, Italy, the talented designers at Pininfarina thought that they could do it better. And in cooperation with Chevrolet, they got the chance to prove themselves (via Autoweek).
The result was the Corvette Rondine, a fully operational and usable concept car from 1963 that debuted at Paris Motor Show. Since the car was commissioned by Chevrolet, it graced General Motors’ stand, and it had a 327/360 V8 engine, four-speed manual, and disc brakes. Despite the pleas for production, this gorgeous car remained a unique example and one of the most beautiful American cars with Italian design.
