And I thought we were unique because we have a squirrel as a tree topper,(Ref: Christmas Vacation). Love that C7 topper.

Just something I purchased off of e-bay. Not for this application ,I had to improvise, but it came out better than expected.
The top branch had to be reinforced otherwise it would not stand erect.
Thank you ,

I have the Hallmark 2014 White Stingray Vette, but they made several others, including a Mako Shark, several C5 Verts and Hard tops, and a couple of C2s (Silver and Rose), and I think a C1 (1957), and a 100th anniversary C6 in Black. Finally there is a Barbie Corvette in Barbie Pink.

Rich,

Those special trees are fun. My wife has her tree with approved ornaments, and my daughter and I have our tree, although she's on her own (with half the ornaments I might add), it gives me an excuse to add some Vette love to the family room Tree.
