Default Corvette memorabilia/stuff Colecting

do any of you guys collect any corvette memorabilia or stuff but stuff I mean toys cars flags ect.

i personally have an few books, "plan to add more" and 2 toy cars 1 of which is over 12 years old.

the books are now not technically an book on the corvette it does talk about it and it is about the very hart of the Vette the small block V8 we all know and love the book is called Chevy's Small Block V8 its by Mike Mueller

the other 2 books are about the Vette its self
and are

1. Corvette C6 by Phil Berg
2. the complete book of Corvette ever year model since 1953 by Mike Mueller

I plan to add the Corvette C5 book and maybe an few other things and hopeful and Vette some day but that is probably an few years to come

I have the same Complete Book of Corvette. I have read it cover to cover. It's just amazing.

I also have 10-12 different scale models. Mostly a bunch of Maisto and stuff. I'm looking to get rid of them if anyone is collecting.

Well, you know it's the whole, "Boys will be boys," "The one with the most toys wins" mentality that helps to make Corvette ownership ours, guys, so let's make the most of it, shall we?

I've got a couple of diecasts I've collected over the past 15 years, need to pick up another shelf and get the C-6's out of the closet.
