@perrone1 Beautifully displayed collection Tony. My 1/24 scale Corvettes are the only part of my collection that are displayed in chronological order, all the rest are displayed as they arrived.

Thank you my friend. Same here; the Vettes are the major display in year order. I have a smaller collection of Mercedes in year order, muscle cars all from 1969 but all others as arrived.

I've got a couple. A lot are in storage but the original 1/24ths, from the Mints that I put on shelves, are still there. Also have many in other scales but not nearly as many as Bob Jackman.

@gavin - I think you're asking about the Callaway and yes, you are right.  It's 1:24 scale.  It was a D4CC special model.

BTW, I've always thought due to the complete redesign of the body and interior, the 1956 Corvette should have been designated the C2, which would have made the 1963 the C3.  That would have made the current C8 the C9.

I totally agree with that Marty. The '56 was a newer generation than the '53-'55. And the '56 was far apart from the '62, yet both were considered in the same generation.
