1959 Chevy Corvette Convertible, Red - Showcasts 73216 - 1/24 Scale Diecast Model Car, but NO Box

Actually had to order this twice because the first model that got sent to me was a 2018 GMC Sierra truck. When I opened it I could hear Rusty Griswold saying, “Dad, this is not the car you ordered”. But, they got it right on the second try, and it’s worth it. This is probably the most perfect car ever produced. And, for this price, it looks perfect on my desk. If you like classic corvettes, I recommend you get this model. One slight problem is it wasn’t shipped in a cardboard box. It came in an Amazon paper bag. So the box that contained the model inside was damaged on one side. But the actual model itself was fine.

It's a cute cast metal model, with opening doors, hood and trunk, and bright period correct colors. Gave it to my wife on her birthday (she was born in 1959). They have many other models of cars and trucks from many years. I doubt if it will ever be collectible, but I bought it because I liked it, and I knew the wife likes the C2 generation Corvettes. I would have gotten her the 1958 (my fave C2) except for her birth year. Maybe I'll get it for myself.

I use this as a reminder of the actual vett that I owned. The detail work is good. The engine is diferant I had a short block 283. It was a convertable & hardtop.

Perfect

Have a screwdriver handy to unbox the car. Very good quality metal. Both doors open the hood opens and so does the trunk.

Purchased for my husband to add to his collection of cars...he loved it!

Perfect little car. I was try to replace cars for my husbands 1954 buddy L transport truck. This one was a little small but still a beautiful addition.

Excellent everything I thought it would be
