'62 Corvette — Frequently Asked Questions
Collector FAQs
Which details separate one release from another?
Compare the casting name with the year, toy number, finish, graphics, wheels and package markings shown for that version.
Does the copyright year on the base always match the release year?
No. The base copyright can predate the year a particular color or package appeared. Use the release markings and packaging together.
What should I inspect on a loose example?
Check the paint, printed graphics, wheel faces and base for wear or damage. Those details help compare condition between examples.
What does the carded photograph show?
It documents the package design and the car as sold. Loose-car photos are shown separately when an exact view is available.
