I have owned my C3 for almost one year now, but some of the models in my collection I have had for a looong time.
Here are a couple of shots of what I can display. (Wife has strict guidelines )

Basement shelf


Garage wall


I'm sure everyone out there in C3 land has some prized possessions. Care to Share?

I have over 1500 Vettes in my collection at this time. I also collect anything Vette related: signs, cookie jars, phones, whiskey decanters, you name it! I don't have a way to get any pics onto my 'puter, but I'm working on it. I have an entire room devoted to my coll., and it's FULL!! I even have some displayed on my toolbox @ the shop; one from every bodystyle, and they're all RED. (Does anyone know where I can get a life?!)

Adam's Apple,
You must have a full time maid just to keep the collection dusted off.
Are you planning to turn it into another Corvette Museum?

Most of the neat ($$$) ones are in showcases, so they don't get too dusty The more common ones are on shelves, and they get dusted with a fuzzy dusting thingy about once a month. A lot of them are still in the box, cause I am pretty much out of room to display them. There is one entire wall of the room, 12'x20' that is shelved. There are over 3-400 there alone. Museum? HA!!! "We don' need no stinkin museum!" I'm tryin to get some photos that I can load, cause I can't afford a scanner or digital camera.(Toys cost money!)
