Description
1/6 1957 Corvette C1 Roadster
This huge 28″ / 71 cm and 22 lb / 10kg metal model features all opening surfaces to reveal the incredibly detailed chassis, engine, cockpit and suspension.
Only 400 of these were built by American model maker Highway 61 back in 2007, and the entire edition sold out in 2008!
The rare model is constructed of metal with some plastic parts and is finished in red with white coves over a red interior. Features include front and rear bumperettes, wide whitewall tires, an antenna, a detailed V-8 engine compartment, and a hinged hood, trunk, and doors. Additional details include bright chrome trim, front and rear bumperettes, wiper arms, a driver’s-side mirror, a telescoping antenna, and “Fuel Injection” badging. A removable fuel filler cap is concealed behind a hinged cover and the chassis is fully articulated.
The interior features red seats along with color-coordinated door panels and carpeting. Features include a white dash panel, a central speedometer, center-mounted gauges, a dash-mounted mirror, a faux push-button radio, a three-spoke steering wheel, and a floor shifter with a cue ball-style grip. The side windows can be raised using the hand cranks!
