1959 Corvette C1 from "Animal House"
I had never considered the Chevrolet Corvette C1 used in the movie "Animal House": I found it beautiful, but I always wanted to give priority to other diecast cars. Now that I think I have bought most of the cars that I wanted, I decided to fill this gap, putting myself in search of this famous Corvette C1. I must admit that on eBay there are several diecast cars of this model, but like every time I make a new purchase, I have documented a lot on the real car used in the movie and I discovered yet another mistake... the Corvette used in the film is the model produced in 1959, while that sold by ERTL/Joyride is the model produced in 1961, very different, especially in the back where the shapes and lights are completely different. Another existing recycling of a model in production lines and adapted by applying a personalized license plate and the logos "Animal House" on the box. At this point, therefore, I discarded the ERTL/Joyride option and tried to found the right model of the year and I finally found the model produced by AutoArt that faithfully reproduces the model used in the movie. Logical that, in addition to reproduce the correct car, the detail level is very high, such as from AutoArt tradition. The model is now on the road and I will show it to you as soon as possible when it will arrive to my home.
