Astro-Vette was one of Chevrolet's big auto-show stars in 1968, touring the country with Astro II XP-880. As far as concept cars go, its styling is not as radical as it may appear at first glance. The Astro-Vette is based on the all new production 1968 Corvette. The new body style was termed the "Shark". It could trace its lineage back to an earlier and well-known concept car, the Mako Shark.
Astro-Vette was built as an exaggerated version of the production Corvette. Its plexi-glass windscreen, disc-like wheels and rear wheel skirts allude to a high degree of aerodynamic efficiency.
