A recent episode of Jay Leno's Garage shows one of the coolest and strangest cars we've ever seen.
Round about the same time as the second generation Corvette, the Sting Ray, another company created a fiberglass car named after an underwater creature. This is the El Tiburon Shark from 1962. Only six of them were made based on Renault engines.
