convertible Mako is pretty cool too
A widespread story has it that cars designer General Motors Styling and Design head Bill Mitchell had an actual mako shark mounted on the wall in his office, and ordered his team to paint the car to match the distinctive blue-gray upper surface gently blending into white underside of the fish. After numerous attempts to match the fish's color scheme failed, the team hit upon the idea of kidnapping the fish one night, painting it to match their best efforts on the car, and returning it to the office. Mitchell never realized the difference and pronounced himself pleased with the team's duplication on the car of nature's handiwork.

Early prototype that eventually led to the C3. I bought my '71 out of storage and doubt I'll ever sell it.

That pic is the cover of a book I bought in Vegas. Book store has since closed which is a bummer because they had some really unique items.
