Great photo especially featuring that floor with those lines of perspective. The opening doors and hood plus engine detail really set FM models apart.
As classy as their '63 Stingray remains, it's time for a contemporary resin version with current levels of fine detail. Spark made a good model [great for ten years ago] but these are mostly unavailable and details are not quite as fine as those available today.

Thanks for the post, Galen. I like the FM '63. Another old favorite is the Brooklin, even if it has the heavy-handed Bare Metal like this one. Click on picture for enlargement.

Ixo made a great diecast a few years ago. It has also appeared in black, and modified as a '64.
Spark made a nice '67 racing version, but I don't recall a road car.
And for classic diecasts there's always the old Corgi!

Any Corvette in the '53 - '67 era from Sergio Goldvarg would probably require a pacemaker.

First, a favorite Corvette in two views:
And another nearly as old:
One more look at the detailing of a quarter century (or more) ago:

As a long time Vette lover there are a number that look really good. I think I have about a dozen different models of the 63. Also in different scales.
