Corvette model cars
We have friends staying over this week from Annapolis Maryland and knowing I'm into cars they brought me a white die cast metal 68 BB convertible. Very pretty and well detailed. What kills me is the toy manufacturer were detailed enough to mold the chrome A/C ***** into the little dash but not detail oriented enough to catch

It is sad some of the detail made and others left out.
I bought a 1/24 scale 1978 Pace Car. The hood and doors open/wheels turn along with the steering wheel. good detail on the dash.
BUT! no spoiler on the Pace Car.

I have a 1/24 rear Pace Car spoiler in black if you need the back one.
Also some unused 1/24 Pace Car decals available to anyone that needs them.
