Of the choices prefer the gills to the egg crates but actually prefer the open slots of my 76 to either. It's art, folks!

One question I wonder about.....why when they were modeled after a Mako Shark were some years of the C3's called either Sting Rays or Stingrays? Not even close to a Mako shark.

Just look at the whole front end with those high arching fenders. Looks just like a stingray swimming

aha...that explains it. Never thought of that...the nose is long and flared up for sure. when photographing it you have to be careful to keep it in perspective by shooting from a low perspective because of it.

Got out of high school in 69 and it was my "some day car"

You know what? I never put that together. I just thought StingRay was a cool-ass name for a car. I can completely see the "Shark" reference, but never thought about a Stingray swimming.
