Oh, I have to DEFINITELY agree about the Corvette! Those classic ones are the best, just the sexiest cars on the road. The engines just GROWL - they sound like they mean business!

However, I would disagree on the year - 2 years later in 1963 is the beginning of the Stingray models. The coupe of that year is the ONLY one with the famous "split window" design.

When I'm a bazillionaire, I want to drive a 1963 Corvette Stingray coupe. Sometimes. I live in Florida and most of those classic cars have no AC.

My Dad has a '63 convertible that he's had forever - he bought it years ago when he first started working and just keeps tinkering with it to keep it running. It needs a new paint job (starting to "craze" - get tiny cracks in it) and a new accelerator pump (if you haven't driven it in a long while, you have to unscrew the lid on the carbouretor and pour a little gas in), but darn it if it's not still a sweet little car. Not that Dad's ever let me drive it. Sigh...

Oh well, I'll just have to work hard and buy my own! Ha!
