For 1968, Stingray mechanics underwent significant improvements and refinements; this year marked an exciting era for design innovation. This Corvette boasted groundbreaking, detachable sections over pilot and navigator that easily lift out for unobstructed open-air driving. A nearly vertical glass rear window neatly tucks away into a compartment in the luggage area, creating a sleek flow-through roof never before seen on an American sports car. The long, low profile with blunt styling echoes the continental GT tradition, while an aerodynamic design features a distinctive spoiler at the back. Functional louvers behind the front wheels help to keep engines cool under high-performance conditions. Wraparound front and rear bumpers, along with line-smoothing hideaway features, contribute to Corvette's sleek appearance. On the nose end, vacuum-operated headlights automatically glide open when lights are turned on. Windshield wipers are cleverly hidden under a power-operated panel that activates when the wipers are turned on or off, ensuring they stay out of sight when not in use. Below the belt line, wheel trim rings and center caps cover large 7-inch-wide wheels, while a special tuck-in treatment adds a touch of elegance to the bright metal body sill between the wheels. Front and rear marker lights add a unique flair to the Corvette's profile from any angle.
