Featured Unique Classic of The Day: The 1968 C3 Corvette. 🏁

Produced in 1968, the C3 Corvette is the only model that does not feature the “Stingray” branding.

This model was produced from 1963 to 1982 and this 1968 production year did not have the branding, why?

Chevrolet dropped the “Sting Ray” moniker and omitted the badging for the 1968 Corvette because they wanted to mark a clean break with the C2 generation and establish a fresh identity for the all-new C3 “Shark” body. Then the following year it was rebranded as one word, “Sting Ray”.

Check out the last photo to see the differences.

The 1952 Cunningham C3 is one of the most fascinating American luxury performance cars ever built — a true blend of handcrafted European style and raw American V8 power. Created by legendary racer and entrepreneur Briggs Cunningham, the C3 was designed to prove that an American-built car could compete with the finest grand touring machines from Europe.🛠️

Today we feature the 1956 Packard Clipper and its revolutionary Torsion-Level Ride suspension, an electronically controlled, self-leveling four-wheel torsion bar system.

Designed by engineer William D. Allison, it completely eliminated conventional coil and leaf springs. Instead of acting independently, the front and rear wheels on each side were interconnected by massive steel torsion bars to drastically reduce vehicle pitching and bouncing.

We had a client that needed our help in getting this to work correctly, and we happily accepted the challenge. 🛠️
