Two of the Corvette’s most storied concept cars are making an appearance this year at the Canadian International Auto Show; the 1961 Mako Shark and the 1965 Manta Ray. 

For those not in the know, the Mako Shark heavily influenced the C2 Corvette (1963-1967) while the Manta Ray did the same for the C3 generation (1968-182).  These two classic shapes are arguably the nicest looking Corvettes of all time.  The priceless one of a kind concepts are on loan from the Corvette museum.
