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:
Tim Boyd build this nice '60 from the older MPC kit. A picture of this model is also part of the '57 article in the Dec. issue of Scale Auto.

MPC 1960 Corvette (# 306-200) This car is built straight from the box, except for the Big'n'little American 5-spokes and Goodyear BlueStreaks from the Revell-Monogram 1932 Ford Three Window kit of the late 1990's. Suspension was also lowered. This model was identified in the text of the SA 1957 Vette article as a 1958 Vette in error.
