Corvette Concept XP 700 Youth T-Shirt

it was way back in 1958, when Bill Mitchell, then Vice-President of General Motors Styling, worked with the Chevrolet design studio to create a concept car that would be called the XP-700. According to a GM document “The XP-700 Corvette, one of the latest experimental vehicles by which Chevrolet tests new ideas, will be a top show attraction. The car combines an extreme sports car image with unusual ideas about driver safety.”
The car actually started life as a stock 1958 Corvette. But that didn’t last long, as the fiberglass body was heavily modified to give it a Grand Prix race car appearance. The front of the car featured a long and low overhang, large air scoops, and wire wheels. Initially, the XP-700 was painted red, and Bill Mitchell actually used it as his personal car for the first year of its existence.
