Moray

Realized on Corvette mechanics and chassis, the outcome of seeking out a sports car designed as an elegant extreme leaps into the limelight carrying a pure profile, designed as though touched by drifting tides with long and slender front lights, bringing immediately to the mind the Moray, the English term for the eel-type fish, found in Mediterranean waters. Also resembling a moray rippling through sea waters is the sinuous contour line, whilst shaping the elongated front section - an unmistakable look of the Corvette grille - to a far stronger, more accentuated curvature is the serpentine bonnet (which projects frontward) forming a contrast with the upraised cut-off tail. Hinged to the rear door frame, thereby assuring freedom of access to the inside of the car, the clear crystal semi-dome of the doors - by which the side window and roof merge into one complete unit - swings open like a seagull on wing. Quick and simple to remove, these door wings ease the way to transforming the Moray from a coupe, with its unmistakable roof panel under the crystal dome, into a quasi roadster. Unlike many custom show cars of which only one are made, two Corvette Morays were produced, one with blue and the other with red livery.
