Grand Sport Corvettes

In 1963 GM secretly commissioned five lightweight Corvettes for road racing. Known as the Grand Sport Corvettes, they have all survived, though they rarely appear together. In 2003 the Amelia Island Concours featured the Corvette and all the Grand Sports were there. I was able to get good photos of all five, and they appear below. It has one of the pretties engines I’ve ever seen, and it’s replicated really well in the Accurate Miniatures 1/24 model.   Images copyright © Mike Hanson, all rights reserved, used with permission.
