1963 Corvette Sting Ray (Drop Tops)
The Chevrolet Corvette (C2) (C2 for Second Generation), also known as the Corvette Sting Ray, is a sports car that was produced by Chevrolet for the 1963 to 1967 model years. This die-cast model is a 'tooned (from cartooned) version of the real life Sting Ray. It is a so-called Drop Top: a visual appearance that makes the roof lower than usual. The body sits low to the ground for a perfect center of gravity which gives the car more speed on the track. Re-releases have been relatively limited.
