Corvette Model Gallery

1960 Roadster

A 1960 is nearly indistinguishable from the ‘59. Several of the color options were different; there were several mechanical differences and some minor interior differences the most noticeable being a vertical pleat pattern to the seats rather then the ‘59 horizontal pattern. This is also the year that Corvette enters the lore of pop culture with the debut of the TV show "Route 66" about two young men seeing America in a 1960 Corvette. America would continue to take to Corvettes as well with more than ten thousand being sold and white being the most popular, who says all Corvettes are red.

The model:

This is a 1960 Corvette built by Korkut some time ago. It is a Revell Germany 1/24 model, built box stock.

Revell Germany 7164

The stripes are decals from the kit, but the sides are hand-painted.

Joining of the rear fenders and smooth finishing was hard.

A neat model from Revell Germany.
