10 Incredible Vintage Concept Cars

June 30, 2019

1. Chevrolet Mako Shark I

Designed by the late, great Larry Shinoda in 1961, the Mako Shark is a truly inspired bit of kit. The pointed hood and streamlined shape was inspired by the titular Mako Shark, one of which was rumored to be mounted in design chief Bill Mitchell’s office. Apparently, to get the paint job just right, the design team stole the shark one night, painted the car to match, then returned it. A massive success on the auto show circuit, the Mako was a massive inspiration to the Corvette C2, which in my mind, is the most beautiful Corvette ever produced.

Its styling and the influence of said styling cannot be overestimated. One of the sleekest cars ever produced in this era, it leaves even the Lamborghini Miura in the dust. Aggressive, balanced, yet oh so beautiful.
