And, we know it's odd seeing a trunk lid on a Corvette, but our 1961 has one with a nicely finished cargo bay and carpet as well as it having a white vinyl soft top.

Exterior

The 1961 Corvette was a sneak-preview of the upcoming 1963 Stingray and offered the slick ducktail rear end and the round taillights that are a Corvette trademark to this day.

Ours has the rare two-tone Honduras Maroon paint with White side coves paint scheme that emphasizes the Corvettes dramatic curves and sharp creases.

The fiberglass is in great shape, it has the chrome front and rear bumpers, side cove trim, Corvette badging, Gorgeous Stainless Trim Work, New Glass, a chrome Driver's Mirror, and immaculate Chrome Work.
