1963. One car stands out in my mind - Corvette Stingray Split Window Coupe. A couple others too, to complete the 'top three choices'. Vette, Grand Prix and Riviera.

What a stunning looking car.  It would also be my #1 pick for '63 across all categories.

To me this Grand Prix is a no-brainer for a successful 1/43 model major sales success; so many people love the design.  I hope Goldvarg do it soon; it would be a good display mate for their '64, which I love.

I'd have a very hard choice choosing between the Corvette, the Grand prix, and the Riviera. 

All three are the most beautiful cars I've ever laid my eyes on and I'm 70 years old and I still love them today. Nothing today in styling even comes close to those three. Thanks Brush !
