Introduced for the 1953 model year, the Corvette stormed onto the sports car scene with great fanfare. With multiple revisions over the next nine years, the C1 Corvette was finally put out to pasture in 1962 anticipating the major redesign of the 1963 Stingray. GM had produced 14,931 units of the last C1, so in todays collector market, many examples of 1962s are readily available. Enthusiasts today buy them for complete rotisserie restorations, light restomods, custom hot rods, and everywhere in between, so condition is important when sealing the deal for the right price. The September 2022 issue of Hemmings Motor News details the key points to note when in the market for one of these classic Corvettes, and how to avoid pitfalls.
Featured on the cover is a 1962 Chevy Corvette in Honduras Maroon Poly with classic black interior. Replicated in 1:18 scale, the body color is complemented by the red accent on the wheel covers. Under the hood is a highly-detailed fuel-injected Chevy 327.
