Coming in August…

1962 Chevrolet Corvair Super Spyder XP-785. Will you pick the silver or black one?

Like both but will probably go with the silver as the details stand out better IMO.

I like the black for the racing stripe.

Silver matches back-in-the-day photos, but black is how the car appears today. Decisions, decisions....

I'm obviously the odd man out here, but I really fail to see the appeal of this pretty lumpy little piece of styling (if that's the word for it).

Still waiting for a really crisp and accurate modern rendering of the basic 1960 Corvair! Resin will do nicely, thank you, Mr Goldvarg.

@graeme-ogg It has been a while since the basic '60 Corvair appeared.

Yup, got those. Not really up to modern standards though.

I did have a go at "enhancing" the French Dinky version by correcting the shape of the rear glazing and fitting better wheels, but my work with the BMF was a bit shaky in places.

Looks good to me ! I always appreciate when a collector takes some time to make improvements.
