The
1959 Stingray
Following
the American Manufacturers Association (AMA) ban on auto
racing by the big three automakers in 1957, the Corvette
SS project was halted. William “Bill” Mitchell,
GM’s Styling Chief purchased the left over Corvette
SS mule chassis and enlisted the help of designers Peter
Brock and Larry Shinoda to design a new body for his personal
sports racer. The resulting design by Shinoda was based
upon a concept by Brock for the Q Car styling exercise.
The fiberglass body was constructed by GM technicians
in their off duty hours at the expense of Mitchell.
