The XP-755 concept car, also known as the Mako Shark, was designed by Larry Shinoda under the direction of General Motors Styling and Design head Bill Mitchell in 1961, as a concept for future Chevrolet Corvette
production cars. In keeping with the name, the streamlining, pointed
snout, and other detailing was partly inspired by the sleek, fast-moving
shortfin mako shark.
The '61 Corvette tail was given two additional tail lights (six total)
for the concept car. The concept was inspired by Bill Mitchell's 1959 Stingray racer XP87 which also inspired the 1963 Corvette Sting Ray.
