It was Peter's original design that wound up becoming the C2 Corvette. Peter tells you, first hand, about Corvette almost being killed in the late 50's and early 60's. He also tells you how Bill Mitchell single handedly saved Corvette from extinction! Mr. Brock also recounts the story of how Zora Arkus-Duntov hated the 1963 Split Window Corvette.
