Ever since America's first true sports car was born in 1953, America has enjoyed a passionate love affair with the Corvette. More than a sleek and powerful sports car, the Corvette has always been a symbol of America itself - a bold expression of that nation's independence and pride. For five decades, the Corvette's design has evolved and its legend has grown. And now, six milestone designs are together in the first Corvette collection ever crafted by Matchbox - "the greatest name in die-cast."

The collection begins with the original - the 1953 Corvette - the car that finally gave America a genuine sports car to rival Europe's finest speed machines. And it ends with the 1997 Corvette, a car so advanced, it sets the standard for automotive design into the next millennium. No effort has been spared in making each replica an authentic piece of Corvette history worthy of display in the National Corvette Museum.

Each model comes with a Certificate of Authentity.
