A Model Dose... Sunday 3/29/26

The end of the C1 Corvette models come with the '61 & '62 models. These are DM models as well; I don't believe FM every issued any model in these two years.

DM issued two '61 models, the 1st was the one pictured here in Ermine White w/Sateen Silver Coves. The 2nd was from the LE Annual Corvette Collection in Jewell Blue. Unfortunately, my example came w/a broken rear bumper (I have a replacement bumper-just never made the repair). I never took any acceptable photos of it. 

Despite the bland shade of color in the Ermine White model, it is one of my favorites in the C series.

DM offered the '62 in three colors, Roman Red, Tuxedo Black & Sateen Silver

the 1st in Roman Red, for whatever reason, is not included in my photo database, I'm sure I took photos -??. Anyway, here's a couple with the WCPD '62 Impala in the same color.

Next up for DM was the model in Tuxedo Black, which has a far more formal appearance than the red one.

the final model issued was from the Annual LE Collection, it is Sateen Silver. When I received this model, I wasn't thrilled with the dog-dish hubcaps, so it became one of the very few models that I sold. A few years later, when a change of mind came over me, I reacquired another. Now I can't imagine why I sold it the 1st time.
