There were two 1965 Mako Shark II concept cars built. This one was a "mock up" and did not move under it's own power. It was used for the show car circuit





This one is a fully running car which Mitchell used as a company car when it wasn't at shows. BTW - this is the first "Corvette" to be powered by an L72 427.

We still do that.

This Chevrolet Volt concept is a fiberglass mockup over a generic steel tube armature.

Also pictured on the bricks at the Design Studio patio.

One time we were given the opportunity to participate in an employee car show held on the patio; official photographers were present to take pictures of our personal car(s) in the same location as these shots.

The weather was threatening so I did not bring a car down. It was definitely touch and go but the show went on as planned. That is one of my (many) regrets that I did not bring a car and get a photo.
