Just had a crazy question on a german TV show ...

Why was a dead (stuffed) shark that the GM general manager had in his office re-painted in 1960something?

Answer: When GM brought out the new Corvette, he wanted the paint of the car look exactly like the way the shark's color was - the painters tried many times to get the colors (blue-gray to white) right, but he was never satisfied. Finally, when his office was empty one night, they took the shark, repainted it exactly like the car looked, hung it back on the wall. The next morning, the manager compared the car to the shark, and was satisfied. :lol:

I didn't see the show either, but I know it was BILL MITCHELL (Head of GM Styling).

I'll agree with that Stef, Zora was the director for the high perfomance division for Chevrolet . He gave the the vette and all GMCars the go power.
