Diocletian's Palace is an ancient palace built by the Roman Emperor Diocletian at the turn of the fourth century AD, that today forms about half the old town of and city center of Split, in Croatia.
While it is referred to as a "palace" because of its intended use as the retirement residence of Diocletian, the term can be misleading as the structure is massive and more resembles a large fortress: about half of it was for Diocletian's personal use, and the rest housed the military garrison.
Diocletian built the massive palace in preparation for his retirement on 1 May 305 AD.
After the Romans abandoned the site, the Palace remained empty for several centuries. In the 7th century, nearby residents fled to the walled palace in an effort to escape invading Croats. Since then the palace has been occupied, with residents making their homes and businesses within the palace basement and directly in its walls.[1] Today many restaurants and shops, and some homes, can still be found within the walls.
I have always loved Split window coupes. I think they made a big mistake not continuing this design for a few years.
But the powers at GM at the time didn't like them.
They sited poor visibility. I have to agree it would make for a small area in you rear view mirror, but with out side mirrors you could get by.
This coupe was at the cancelled car show on Sat. They are really rare Corvettes and you hardly see them at a show. Even Corvette shows.

Split est la deuxième ville de Croatie et un important pôle économique et culturel. Mais c'est surtout le plus étonnant centre-ville du pays avec le Palais de Dioclétien, immense quadrilatère de 38.700 m2, peu à peu remodelé par 1700 ans d'histoire. L'ancienne résidence de l'empereur romain est inscrite sur la liste du patrimoine mondial de l'UNESCO depuis 1979.
