Hooniverse Fastback Friday – Two 1963 Fiberglass Wonders; A Corvette and an Avanti
Here is another Hooniverse Fastback Friday, and today I thought it would be ideal to compare two very exciting Sports Cars, marketed by two very different companies for 1963. The 1963 Chevrolet Corvette was designed by Larry Shinoda under the direction of Billy Mitchell over at GM, and is one of the most breathtaking designs ever to come out of the General. The 1963 Studebaker Avanti design came about under the direction of Raymond Lowey, and is equally breathtaking, for different reasons. One was from the prominent car maker of the decade, while one was a quick “Hail Mary” desperation move in order to buy more time. Which one of these beauties would you like to call your own.
