1954 Corvette
By: Ismael "the Corvette guy" Gonzalez
I built this 1954 Corvette starting with Monogram's 2291
'53 kit. Built in the late 90's. The inspiration for this model was the most
beautiful '53-'55 I have ever seen, not in a car show, but in the freeway doing
over 60 mph in traffic! These pictures
are from the time it was finished. This model is due for a new photo session so
stay tuned.
