Today's post continues a look at the Generation 1 (C1) Chevrolet Corvette. The Gen 1 models are, for me, broken down into Part 1 & Part 2 because of the radically different styling. The post will feature the 1956-1958 models. Which today as well, are all DM models.
Exceptional photos John! DM's '58's are extraordinary because of their paint. The charcoal paint is spot on. Up close, you can see it's true color. In other models it is black at any distance. And the Panama Yellow is as close to original as humanly possible - other models, not so much.
The gray tint was very hard for me to capture in any of my photos. These show it the closest of the ones I like. I have another set that really show the gray tint, but I just don't care for the photos much.

Yes! I found it very difficult as well when I photo'ed the model for the original review. I think I recall using a negative compensation fill flash to bring out the gray in the paint. You GOT it here perfectly!
