Pictures of Other 61's












This is the 1958 XP-700 show car from which the '61
Corvette got its restyled rear end.

This is the 1961 Promotional model that was built by SMP/AMT. I finally obtained one (it wasn't cheap - $300!). They cam in several colors, but Fawn Beige wasn't one of them. Mine is white and pictured below:



This is my 1/32 model from the Zora Arkus-Duntov
Authorized Collection put out by Action Performance Companies, INC.

These are clay styling prototypes
for the '61 Vette showing some interesting features considered for production
around Feb. of 1959.
