For so many, a Grail Car. The epitome of a Sixties Corvette. Perhaps my favorite color combo, Sebring Silver with Red interior.

Both versions shown so far are beautiful. This is my favourite Corvette in any colour.

@david-green +1  No doubt about it David; it's in an American league of its own.

@chris I was blown away by the quality in this one back in 2008 when it was released.

The "Split Window" is the "Cher," the "Prince," the "Elvis" of automobiles. As soon as the name is mentioned, we all know exactly what's being spoken of.

On Harv's recommendation, I picked up one of the IXOs. It's a beautiful model.
