Monopoly Anyone???

Properties feature 50 years of Corvette cars from '53 to the new 2003. Pewter tokens are cars and emblems; assembly plants and a Corvette Museum replace the railroads; license plate renewals replace the luxury tax; and you build with garages and dealerships instead of houses and hotels. The object of the game is the same as the original, perhaps better since you are building a collection of Corvettes instead of properties. May the best collector win!

Game includes:

Game Board

Property Cards

Play Money and Banker’s Tray
2 Dice
1953 Emblem Cards
2003 Emblem Cards

This is the FIRST in a three set collection.  100% Hot Wheels, 50th Anniversary Release.  Corvette released it's dramatic debut a the 1953 Motorama due to its eye-catching design and innovating construction.  Those first 300 hand-built beauties began a fifty-year evolutionary process which has delivered five awe-inspiring body styles and technological developments that continually satisfy the drivers highest performance expectations.  This commemorative set features 1/64th scale die-cast models of the 1957 and 1996 Corvettes
       
This is the SECOND in a three set collection.  100% Hot Wheels 50th Anniversary Release.  Although styling initially established the Corvette, it was the constant evolution of technology and performance that put the sports car on a par with the elite Europeans. innovation that could be described in two words - fuel injection.  In 1957, an enlarged 283cid small-block engine with Ramjet fuel injection boosted Vette horsepower to 283. It was only the second time a Detroit V8 reached the one horsepower per cubic inch milestone. A 4-speed manual transmission also debuted that year.  Performance rapidly advanced throughout the next two decades. 1982 marked the end of a body style that was envied for sixteen years, but introduced an innovative drive train, including Cross-Fire fuel injection, for the next generation of Corvette body styles.
The Hot Wheels set showcases these two famous "fuelly" models as part of the 50th anniversary celebration of America's superior sports car...the Corvette.  This commemorative set features 1/64th scale die-cast models of the 1957 and 1982 Corvettes (the body style that was envied for years.

What can be said about the Vette the ultimate American sports car, some of you older gentlemen will remember the first Vette back in 53 and being in awe of its lines and its great ability to take on the greats from Europe. Well, here we are 50 years later and the Vette continues its dominance in the sports car arena with the classic V8 and the body lines of an exotic. For the lucky few to have the opportunity to own and appreciate the exclusivity of the 50th Vette I give you these finely American made blankets to compliment your special Vette.  I keep one on the couch, put one in the garage take one to the car show to display or they can be framed and hung on the wall.
