Awesome photo! She's adorable - and sitting in a Corvette just gives the photo a huge cool factor. That will be a fun one to share with her when she's older.

I have a 27' x 24' 2 car carage for the daily drivers and a 42' x 21.5' 4 car garage, both attached at different ends of thouse.. i can probably fit 5 cars in the 4 car garage and 3 in the 2 car garage.. I'm in process on tiling the 4 car garage, so the C3 sits in the DD garage.. DD sits outside right now..

This is the 2 Car Garage..

Young girls are such a hoot. SWIMPAL was regaling me last night about 3 in her class - they were going to defeat the bad guys because, in their arsenal, amongst their several weapons, were rainbows!

What a cutie. Here's mine, some older:

Of course, the thing about girls is that they grow up to be women. Where they once were decipherable, in their adult phase there is no hope.

Check e bay for corvette convertible in contemporary model cars..
You'll see a lot of fun ones from 1:18 to 1:64 scale..
The Greenlight die cast are some of the better small diecast corvettes..Johnny Lightning also.
UTC, Maesto, Franklin & Danbury mints some more expensive 1:16, 1:24 scale.
What year/model is your C3?..Jim
PS: My five kids are all grown..Three girls and two boys.44 down to 22yrs.

I got each of them Greenlight 1/64 scale diecast models that faithfully depict our C3 1978 Silver Anniversary Corvette..
Stocking stuffers for a smille so they can ALL say Dad & Mom gave them a Corvette for Christmas..

What year is your car? I've never noticed on the chrome bumper cars how you open the door with the little button. Is that factory?

Here's a MicroMachines '68 white convertible on e bay..Pretty nice detail for a little die cast model..but not so spendy the gal couldn't play with it..
Think the convertible top comes off this one but ask the question..
You can paint the car together with the hood accents like yours for the little gal..

OR this one a Johnny Lightning that's yellow and could be a total paint job..This one has no convertible top..and interior is also the black color..Jim
