As the founder of General Motors Styling and Design, Harley Earl left a monumental imprint on American automotive
styling for decades. One of the rewards for his success was that, even long after his retirement in 1958, as a GM consultant,
Earl could order any Corvette he desired, built to his personal specifications even if they required special paint, fabrication
or options. Over the years, documented factory special Corvettes have taken their rightful places at the top of the vintage
Corvette hierarchy, but one was known to have been built that always eluded detection, a Pink Pearl 1963 coupe Earl had
specially built for his wife Sue.
