The split window on the coupe was removed for 1964 as well as the hood
trim panels, but the hood recesses remained. A three-speed fan was placed in the rear of
Coupe models to improve ventilation; the fan pulled air through vents added to the drivers
side roof panel. 1964 Seat backs are more square, and thicker at the top. From 1964
through 1967, Dow-Smith in Ionia, Michigan, a division of the A.O. Smith Company, supplied
some Corvette bodies.
