11. Chevrolet Corvette Rondine

Back in 1963, Chevrolet Corvette Stingray stunned global automotive audiences with its fantastic design, sharp edges, split window feature, and brutal performance. It was the epitome of an American sports car at its finest. However, in Turin, Italy, the talented designers at Pininfarina thought they could do better. So, in cooperation with Chevrolet, they got the chance to prove themselves.

The result was the Corvette Rondine, a fully operational and usable concept car that debuted at the 1963 Paris Motor Show. Since the car was commissioned by Chevrolet, it graced the General Motors stand. They equipped it with the 327/360 V8 engine, a four-speed manual, and disc brakes. Despite the many pleas for production, this gorgeous car was a unique example of one of the most beautiful American cars with an Italian design.
