Prototype built in 1962
n 1961, Chevrolet created a concept car to replace the original generation of Corvette. IT was called the XP-755, a/k/a, the Mako Shark.
Larry Shinoda was the lead designer on this car. Bill Mitchell, the new chief stylist at GM, had a thing for sharks, indicated by the giant Mako mounted on his office wall. Inspiration for the new car was not limited to the name… the front of the car featured a sharply pointed nose with a severe overbite. The sides had exposed exhaust pipes resembling gills. And the profile of the wraparound windshield could be interpreted as a dorsal fin. Furthering the look, dark blue body paint faded into a silvery white belly. The basic shape predicted the C2 ’Vette, produced from 1963-67.
