When the '63 came out I was 2 years old and living in Japan. I wasn't a car guy yet.

My 63 was made in October 62 almost a full 8 years before I was born. That commercial is correct about the engineering. Hard to believe that basically the same chassis was under the car for almost 20 years. Definitely light years ahead of its time.

Interesting. Thanks for sharing.

Old thread, I know, but I enjoy seeing those old Corvette commercials.

Seems to me, the first time I saw the ‘63 was a commercial on Bonanza but not sure about that.
