Default Finally....

got my Danbury Mint "50 Years of Corvette" collection all together. They sent 2 - 1:24 scale die-cast replicas each month for nearly the past 3 years. Finally recieved the last shipment this week. Got it as a Christmas gift from the wife three years ago.....Glad we didn't get divorced...she was forking out $33.80 each month!

Here is a pic...not mine butyou get the idea....

Wow, be sure to post a pic of your display. I bet it's pretty impressive. It would be nice if you could keep collecting each year after 03.

You know, you might be right..they are bigger than a hot wheel but not an 1:18...i may have spoke too soon...lol...

yeah I just realized they no longer make it. It was like pulling teeth to get the last two shipments. I am having them send me another 1996 Grand Sport because it is way out of proportion. the roof is like a 1/4 inch too tall. Looks like a cheap toy. Otherwise, very nice set!
