Peter Brock Reimagines His Original 1963 Split-Window Corvette Design | MCACN
One of the best parts of the Muscle Car & Corvette Nationals is never knowing who you’ll run into — and this time, it’s a true automotive design legend.
We sit down with Peter Brock, the original designer of the 1963 Split-Window Corvette, to talk about his stunning modern reinterpretation of this iconic car. Peter shares behind-the-scenes stories from GM Styling, working under Bill Mitchell, and the resistance the Corvette program faced in its early years.
This refined Split-Window stays true to the original vision while eliminating compromises made for production. Every vent is functional, the chrome is minimized to highlight the sculpture of the body, and underneath is a modern Art Morrison chassis with a 700-horsepower LT4 drivetrain, blending classic design with C7-level performance.
From larger rear windows inspired by Zora Arkus-Duntov’s feedback to modern suspension, brakes, and handling, this is the Corvette Peter Brock says he would have for himself.
