The
1959 Corvette
Scale 1:24
......The
1959 Corvette broke away from the pack with it's handsome new sleeker,
bolder design. The new engine was just as remarkable - a 283 cubic
inch that produced a powerful 290 hp. With optional fuel injection,
even that performance could be exceeded. The interior was redesigned
with a tachometer placed directly ahead of the drive, a lockout
T-handle gearshift lever, and redesigned bucket seats, door handles
and armrests. Franklin Mint recreates this distinctive automobile
in accurate detail - from its V-8 engine to its sophisticated design
features. This car is a classic to be appreciated for years.
......Advertised
as the true American sports car, the 1969 Corvette was powerful
and stylish. It offered engines with 300- 435hp. It won at Daytona,
took second place at the Tour de France and set lap records at Le
Mans and Nurburgring. This incomparable precision replica is authorized
by Chevrolet Motors and is accurate in every detail. From the 427
cubic inch V-8 engine and hood mounted air scoop to the newly designed
fender vents and black grill, this precision model re-creates the
innovative 1969 Corvette with all the excitement of the original.
......The
all-new fifth generation hardtop. Matching the original in every
sizzling detail. From the distinctive hydro-formed chassis, to that
historic hardtop, aerodynamically designed to boost performance.
Complete interior accurate down to the detailed instrument panel
and analog gauge display and a re-creation of the powerful LS1 V-8
engine. The steering wheel engages the front wheels, the doors,
hood and trunk open and close and the suspension system is fully
functional.
