Car of the Week: 1963 Corvette Sting Ray (Split Window)
One of the most recognizable American classics ever built. The 1963 Corvette Sting Ray Split Window is pure automotive history. Only produced for one year, making it one of the most collectible Corvettes today. Why it’s special The split rear window design made this car instantly iconic. It was bold, futuristic and controversial, some drivers even complained about rear visibility. GM removed the split window after just one year. That decision made the 1963 model legendary. Quick facts - Year: 1963 - Engine: 327 V8 - Horsepower: up to 360 hp - Nickname: Split Window Coupe - Status: One-year design = highly collectible Today it’s considered one of the most desirable American classics ever built. Question for you 👇 Would you take the 1963 Split Window Corvetteover a modern Corvette like the C8? Or is modern performance winning?

The split rear window design was a cool fad in the early 60s that even the beetle adopted for a little while and was equally desired just because of how different the look was. Ive driven a 66 version while i was installing a custom stereo, plus a few different C8's for various jobs and while the C2 can't keep up on a performance level, the REAL driving experience is acquired in the classic. There's always place in my heart for refined modern engineering but the rawness of what the corvette represented during those times keeps me coming back every time. (I think for me personally though, that there's too many C8's on the road. I was hoping for chevy to keep this newer model a bit more exclusive with a higher price tag to increase the perceived value of the car due to rarity but the Z06 is a blast that puts an evil grin on my face everytime i get to press the throttle.

@Beyond Yesteryear thankfully we live in the perfect time to have both! You can keep a factory look while having modern tech without taking away from the design of the decade. I know for certain you can have heated seats, modern stereo, and any charging accessories you may need for the ride. If you or your clients ever have questions on that integration, its my bread and butter for work so im happy to help make project dreams come true. Please do share those pics of the 63!
3 Fun Facts About the Ford Mustang
The Ford Mustang isn’t just a car, it’s a cultural phenomenon. Here are three fun facts that show why the Mustang changed automotive history forever: 🔹 1. Instant success On its very first day, the Mustang was ordered over 22,000 times. Dealers even had to place dummy cars in their showrooms because real ones were sold out immediately. 🔹 2. Birth of the Pony Car The Mustang created an entirely new class of cars: the pony car, compact, sporty, affordable, with a long hood and short rear deck. 🔹 3. Pop culture icon Within just one year, the Mustang already appeared in James Bond: Goldfinger, cementing its legendary status. Without the Mustang, icons like the Camaro or Challenger might never have existed. 🔥🔥Small update & question for you I’ve just opened my very first course about the 1960s, focusing on design, culture, and the cars that defined the decade (including icons like the Mustang). I’m looking for a few people who’d like early (free) access and are willing to share some feedback. Let me know what you think, and of course: 👉 Which Mustang generation is your favorite, and why? 🐎

As a classic car enthusiast and coming from a backgroundin design, I'd love to see what the course has to offer people especially in the realm of design. The language of the 60's was a turning point in the US coming out of WWII then shortly going into Vietnam, was a large influence on what the designers were thinking about at the drafting table, and what drivers wanted their cars to say about them. I would love a deep dive into other decades important to automotive history as well

@Sophie Verbers its hard to say which car made a cultural imoact when they played different roles in different parts of what cars were to people. The model T gave people cars and transport. (Even if 35mpg was blistering fast for the time. The model t broke the mold for what transportation could be for a developing industrialist country while the mustang gave a sense of pride in a car with a designed elegance on top of high performance for a consumer car. If were asking CULTURAL impact id have to go with the T just because it built and set the stage that the mustang later performed on

My name is Seth and i love anything thay predates my birth pretty much. My all time dream and favorite classic is the 75-78 Porsche 930 Turbo. I love drawing cars as much as i love driving them and I'm currently restoring a 1965 Mistang from the ground up, and doing all the work myself!

@Sophie Verbers initially the design got me hooked. The wide fenders with that huge whale tail all from the factory is insane. As i learned more about the car, i found out how hard it is to drive, dubbing it the "widow maker" which should push normal fast drivers away but it pulls me even closer for the challenge. Ill definitely give more updates on the mustang (his name is Bruce) as time carries on!!
🏁 Monte Carlo Rally: Where automotive history meets today
The Monte Carlo Rally has always been more than just a race. It’s one of the few events where you can literally see the evolution of the automobile in motion. When the first Monte Carlo Rally took place in 1911, cars weren’t yet trusted.They had to prove they could handle long distances, mountains, cold weather, and reliability.Winning a rally wasn’t just about speed, it was about showing the world that cars actually worked. More than 100 years later, that challenge hasn’t changed.The 2026 Monte Carlo Rally once again showed how unpredictable and demanding this event still is. Snow, ice and changing grip made it a true test of control, technology and driver confidence — just as it was in the early days. From pioneering vehicles to today’s advanced rally machines, Monte Carlo has always been a proving ground for innovation. Many technologies we now take for granted in everyday cars were first pushed to their limits in events like this. That’s what makes this rally so special: It connects the origin of the automobile with the cars we drive today. 💬 Question for the community: Do you follow rally or motorsport, or do you mainly love the stories and history behind cars?

I love rally and Monte Carlo is one of favorite stages for sim racing. The complexity of the corners, plus the reality of a wall on one side and a sheer cliff on the other side while pushing over 70mph in the snow is something a road course could never replicate. Anyone here a fan of Group B?

@Sophie Verbers In the 4WD category you can't beat the Audi quattro flying through the air with a gutsy French woman behind the wheel. For RWD I have too much a loyalty to Porsche to stray away from their 959. Both wild machines that rocket away on any surface.
