Default Corvette pool cue

I had this ‘Corvette’ theme cue commissioned and had to show it off.
The cue was made by cuemaker Jerry Olivier and the scrimshaw was done by Sandra Brady, both are considered world class in the respective fields of their art.
The cue consists of ebony and ivory with sterling silver and a black leather wrap.
Represented are six Corvettes, one from each generation.

C1 ~ 1957 fuelie ~ venetian red and arctic white ~ 283 cid / 283 hp

C2 ~ 1967 tri-carb 427 ~ greenwood green ~ the last ‘Sting Ray’

C3 ~ 1969 ZL1 ~ can-am white ~ Zora Arkus Duntov’s toy

C4 ~ 1996 Grand Sport ~ admiral blue and arctic white ~ tribute to the ’63 Grand Sport

C5 ~ 2004 Z51 convertible ~ magnetic red II ~ my car

C6 ~ 2007 Z06 ~ velocity yellow ~ 427 cid / 505 hp ~ ultimate super car
