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.
