Fifty years have passed since Chevrolet introduced the Rochester Ramjet fuel injection to the Corvette® in 1957, eliminating the chronic fuel starvation during high-speed cornering and boosting the 283ci V8 to 283hp, shattering the "one horse per cubic inch" milestone so elusive until then. The '57 Corvette was decades ahead of its closest competitors; most foreign-built performance cars did not introduce fuel injection until the 1970s. Already famous for its graceful styling, comfortable luxury, and innovative design, the Corvette was now the performance car to beat. And the automotive world has been racing to keep up ever since. Standing over 28 inches long, the massive Highway 61 Collectibles fully-detailed replica is a sight to behold. The opening hood reveals a fully-plumbed and wired 283ci V8. The interior is faithfully reproduced with windows that raise and lower with scale hand cranks, opening glove box and ashtray, intricately-detailed gauges, working steering, working shifter and pedals, flocked carpeting, and soft floor mats and upholstery. The chassis boasts a fully-detailed 3-speed transmission, with working suspension and rolling soft rubber tires. An opening trunk reveals a removable spare tire cover. Other details include opening hood vent cowl, engraved headlights, opening fuel door, and working radio antenna make this replica stand out. Using an innovative manufacturing process, Highway 61 Collectibles has faithfully reproduced every subtle curve and nuance of the original ´57 Corvette, creating a replica that is truly one-of-a-kind, sure to be treasured by enthusiasts.

Approx. dimensions: 28´L x 13´W x 9´H. Approx. weight: over 20 lbs. Scheduled for July 2007 delivery.
