1961 Chevrolet Corvette Mako Shark
The Mako Shark was another rare Corvette model that hit the market and once again the shark theme was in full effect. Sleek styling was always a strong suit of the Corvette but the Mako Shark concept to it to another level. This Corvette was every bit the curvy rocket-themed sports car of the 1960s era, and the design captivated people who were intrigued by the concept (via Motor 1).
The Mako Shark was the epiphany of Corvette’s concept car design, and it kept the model fresh. Of course this sleek-looking road shark wasn’t just a tool of design either, it also performed very well. This particular Corvette model wasn’t put into production but there were more than a few of them that were sold at auction. The special edition Corvettes that continued to come after this one only helped to innovate even more.
