Chevrolet Corvette · 1963
The 1963 sport coupe, its rear window split in two by the windsplit over the roof: 1963 was the only year with it.
The split rear window is usually credited to Bill Mitchell, who said a Bugatti 57SC Atlantique inspired it, by Wikipedia's account. Duntov disliked it for the view it gave to the rear, and for 1964 it was one piece of glass.1one source
A center windsplit runs over the roof and divides the rear glass in two. 1963 was the only year with the split rear window, by Wikipedia's table.12one source
How many Split-window coupes were built each model year.
| Year | Built | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 1963 | 10,5942one source | Our inference: every 1963 coupe had the split window, so this is the Black Book's count of coupes (see the ruling). |
Chevrolet's regular production option (RPO) code from GM's own option and engine lists; «Std.» is the standard engine. The 1963–67 VIN carries no engine code.

Our ruling: Unresolved, leaning to 10,594, the Black Book's count; with its 10,919 convertibles it makes the 21,513 total (our sum). Wikipedia and Consumer Guide repeat the Black Book, so it has no independent second source. Over-Drive's 10,954 looks like two digits swapped.
