The 1963 Corvette just looks cool. I know very little about it. They weren't plastic back then were they?

525 - "They weren't plastic back then were they?"

Corvettes have always been fiberglass, since their inception in 1953, unless they have changed recently.

I'm fairly sure that except for upholstery, it was a beautiful exercise in
metallic artistry.

I'm not expert, but I think the really coveted Corvette of that era is the "Stingray" version.
I'm not sure if that model is the one, but one configuration had fuel injection and
enough insane dedication to the engine that I think the thing didn't even have a
a heater built into it.
I've presumed that one was for the California, Florida and other southern markets!
Or the engine generated enough heat alone!
