wheels included, as well as a set of Torque Thrust 5-spokers. The convertible was last seen in the company’s "Prestige" series of several years ago. It includes the majority of the hardtop’s parts, in addition to a choice of a separate hardtop or up convertible top. It is also equipped with a more correct set of 6-blade hubcaps with spinners. And finally, what put this kit in the "Prestige" series? The addition of a small sheet of chrome foil for the trimwork on the car, a drag strip accessory set consisting of a TV camera w/tripod, floodlights, pole-mounted loudspeakers, fire extinguisher, flag and a pushbroom. Sadly, neither kit is currently available.
9. 1978
Corvette Pace Car
(Revell-Monogram #85-2544)
This
is a very nice rendition of a 1978 Corvette that can be built either as a
stock coupe or decked out as the Indianapolis 500 Pace car. It features a
nice L-82 small block, a nice set of chrome finned valve covers and a four-speed
transmission (with a longitudinal seam).
