1966 Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray
The Sting Ray was produced 1963 through 1967. When the body style was changed for 1968, the Sting Ray emblems disappeared. In 1969, the Stingray returned to the car but this time spelled as one word, Stingray. The last Corvette to carry the Stingray emblem was the 1976 model.
Chevrolet dropped the 'Sting Ray' name in '68 because of the introduction of the new C3 model, however they still advertised it as a Sting Ray. '69 sported the revised 'Stingray' name.
Sting Ray (or Stingray) is just a name that doesn't denote anything special. What I mean by that is that "Sting Ray" or "Stingray" is just a name--it doesn't indicate any higher level of performance or styling or anything. It's not like a Corvette Stingray is a step up from a "regular" Corvette. I hope that makes sense. BTW, it was two words (Sting Ray) for the 1963-1967 model years, and then it became one word (Stingray) on the 1969-1982 models. 1968 Corvettes were "Stingrays," too, but the name badge didn't appear anywhere on them.
