Fox News
GM Design has revealed rare images of a four-seat Chevrolet Corvette concept that was built in 1962. The stretched sports car was considered as a competitor to the Ford Thunderbird, but ultimately canceled before it went into production.
According to GM Authority, the idea was proposed by Chevrolet boss Ed Cole to make the Corvette a stronger competitor against Ford Thunderbird, which was outselling it at the time. GM even purchased a four-seat Ferrari for inspiration, but made the Corvette much roomier for its American audience. It's elongated fastback giving it a unique profile. Executives ultimately decided against pursuing the project and the fiberglass mockup was destroyed. It wasn't the last time Chevrolet thought about fitting four people into a Corvette, however.
