Since the dawn of the automobile some 120 years ago there have been tens of thousands of different models produced. Most are entirely forgettable and in fact the vast majority were long ago forgotten. Every once in a blue moon however a truly memorable, landmark design comes along. Whether by virtue of unrivaled performance, incredible sophistication, highly advanced engineering, incomparably beautiful styling, or some combination of these attributes, certain cars not only set a new standard for their own time, but also continue to captivate enthusiasts into the indefinite future. The 1963 Corvette Sting Ray is an example of such a car. It stood the automotive world on its ear when introduced and more than forty years later it still stirs the emotions like few other cars can.
