Bill Mitchell's Corvettes
Bill Mitchell was inspired by the clean, flowing looks of aquatic creatures. This brochure (top) touts the 1963 Corvette Sting Ray. Note the “gills” behind the front wheel and on the roof pillar of the coupe.
In 1970 Bill Mitchell posed with two of his favorite Corvette dream cars (bottom), the 1961 Mako Shark (left) and the 1969 Manta Ray.
