Hoods really started to play an aggressive part of a cars styling in the mid sixties, and the corvette Sting Ray played along.
The all new “rat” 396ci motor was installed in the 1965 corvette, and buyers got a new design hood to announce that they had it.
The proud new owners could let everyone know they had the monster motor under their hood.
I never really liked the 1965 or the 1966 carry over design, but that’s just me.
Things all changed for the not supposed to be Sting Ray for 1967. Delays pushed back the all new corvette , so the old model got a little revamp. An all new beautiful big block hood was designed/produced for the 1967 model. It is thought of as the best corvette hood ever.
I must agree there.
