Chevrolet Corvette XP-700, 1960. Designed and built in 1960 under  Bill Mitchell, using many regular Corvette components, including the chassis, suspension and engine. The fibreglass body was extensively redesigned with a “grand prix” appearance. The bubble-shaped laminated plastic canopy was coated with vaporized aluminium to help block the sun’s rays. A metal strut in the centre of the canopy featured an overhead mirror, mounted above the windshield with a viewing porthole in the roof structure and louvered vents to enhance air circulation in the passenger compartment. The rear end styling influenced the C2 Corvette.
