Nice model!  I don't have this one but do have the DM Chip Miller '57 Vette, which I love.  I do prefer the single headlight on this era but definitely like the '58 thru'60 as well.

Great photos Tony!  Though I'm not a Corvette fan, your pics of the models really bring the car to life.  I'm sure it's an eye-catcher on your shelf.

@georgeschire George anything in Red on a shelf is a eye catcher.  But Tony's pictures are surely great.  I miss the old site, where you could easily look up a car and see the review Tony gave and all his great photo's.

Tony's pictures and reviews were terrific and between he and Rich Sufficool's pictures, they cost me a lot of money....like feeding dope to an addict.

I too, miss those Car Lists and Reviews.  I did a review of every car in my collection for that page on the old site, and now they are gone.  Hopefully that page is and will be retrieved and returned here soon.

@georgeschire Back in the day when I would purchase a car, I would print out the review page and put it with the paperwork that came with the car.  I have all of that info in looseleaf binders for every car I have up until the site was taken down.
