Its reigning beauty is the statuesque blonde daughter of Banker Miine-mann, "Antschi," who hurtles around town in an eggshell-colored Ferrari; however, many families with "von" in their names still prefer to drive Volkswagens.

But the 1963 Corvette Sting Ray is new from its independent rear suspension to its fastback body shell. On a casual test lap, a Sting Ray zipped around the twisting, 5.2-mile Sebring course in 3 min. 12 sec. -beating the official track record set by Ferrari last year. Then came Ford with the hybrid AC Cobras, developed by ex-racer Carroll Shelby, with a light British body hiding a huge 350-h.p. Ford engine. The Cobras claimed...
