The C4 Corvette model I have in the collection is a cabrio, and regularly appearing on eBay are 1:24 models of C4 coupes ...
I did say the collection wouldn't remain at one from each generation ...
The 1962 Corvette was the last of the 1st generation, sporting a front and back end different from its predecessors.
Now I already have two C1 'Vettes in the collection (a '53 and a '57), so why add a third one?
Well, I turned 62 earlier this year, was born in 1962, so a '62 car is one from my year of birth ... and if you want another 62 to add, that's the house number where we live ....
So I got this '62 Corvette as a birthday present when I turned 62 earlier this year. It's a Franklin Mint model, so heavier and more detailed than others. And yes, more expensive, but it was a birthday present, so, technically, I didn't break my '~£25 rule' (it was £49.95 on eBay, if you want to know).
A very nice and appropriate birthday present!
It's been quite a while since I added a 1:24 Corvette model to the collection ..... There were reasons for that, and now it's time to remedy it!
In 2009, Corvette produced a Stingray concept car.
And with the eighth generation of the Corvette, we've arrived at the final generation (for now, that is). This most recent Stingray has been produced from 2019 onwards.
Now I would be deluding myself if I thought the collection wouldn't be expanded beyond these eight ...
Seventh generation Corvettes were produced from 2014 to 2019, and brought back the Stingray name!
One more to go and I'll have a 1:24 model of every Corvette generation ... watch this space!
Sixth generation 'Vettes were produced from 2005 to 2013.
