New FM Corvettes
I haven't been in touch in awhile and noticed a few new Corvettes. Does anyone know who the Independent Retailer is who commissioned the Vettes?
Mint Models recently announced two new 66 Vettes.
Also 2-2009's 9 announced in the last few months makes it difficult to keep up....I collect them all
Too many IMO-
I thought it was 10- like you say- hard to keep up- I also collect them all-
Did I miss one...
Franklin-
2-66's
2-72's
1-71
2-09's
Danbury-
69 & 74
I agree it's too many
73, 76, 77
Come on DM...how bout a '73 and a '76 -'77. I know they aren't as historically significant on their own but now that DM has done a '74 coupe, the 76 & 77 are just a matter of dropping the '75 L-82 into the '74 and making a couple of minor mods in the plastic parts.
I have also done a '73 combing DM's '72 and '75 and despite some door-rear quarter panel issues it wasn't extremely difficult. If I could post pics, all of the Corvette guys would be demanding a '73 in Dark Blue with a Medium Saddle interior. Mine looks stunning between my DM gold '72 and a Kravchak Orange '74 convertible.
Lots of "announced" releases...
...but these will likely be the only vettes available in the next 6-8 months...there have definitely been calendar years where there were more vette releases.
