In 1968, General Motors introduced the Chevrolet Corvette Stingray with a sleek new design that featured pop-up headlights, a first for the Corvette. This new design gave the car an even more futuristic look, while also improving aerodynamics and styling.

A fun fact: The 1968 Corvette Stingray was also the first model to feature the Mako Shark II-inspired body, which was a direct homage to the concept car that had previously influenced the Corvette’s design. The 1968 model became an instant classic, combining high performance with striking visual appeal, and is still remembered as one of the most iconic Corvettes ever built.
