“Biography of a Sports Car” Videos Going Fast

Less than 35 of the “Biography of a Sports Car” 1963-1967 videos are left. Available for a $50 donation, these unique videos were established as the dealer training video for the next generation Corvette – the 1963. This twenty minute video contains a “behind-the-scenes” look at how the second generation Corvette was developed, and includes footage from its test runs at the GM Proving Grounds in Milford. The track testing was done by Dr. Dick Thompson and David McDonald under the direction of Zora Arkus-Duntov – pictured giving instructions on the test run. The video includes pieces of historic footage not usually made available to the public.
