Someone called mine a vette one day. I kindly ask him to address it as a Cor vette.When he asked why, I told him I did not want it confused with a Che vette.

You may as well add 63`s and the others {through 67} to the stingray or whatever you call those fishes through the the 82`s.........Stingray is a Sting Ray...... right?
Any way I like the clean appearance of the 68`s with out the yearly badged up and frilly changes GM uses after the 68`s

AAAAAAAAGGGGHHHHHH!!!!! Enough already. This infection has managed to spread to here from the other side of the C3 forum. This is the tech/performance side. Why do we care about chrome name tags? Pass the penicillin please.

My 68 is not a Stingray.To follow your line of reasoning, you can probably find 1969 model year ad material touting the LT-1.

Vette....? Shark...? Sting Ray...? I worked on C3s when they were brand new, rolling off the delivery trucks at the dealerships. They weren't called any of those names by those of us working on them or by anyone I knew at GM. The cars often came in with the headlight doors in the "open" position, and these cars were called "Frogs."
You won't see it in any literature, but that's the name for these cars. Frog. I'm having an emblem made.
