PhillyMint Diecast - Franklin Mint 1998 Chevrolet Corvette Indy 500 Pace Car Convertible 1:24th Scale diecast model

Franklin Mint / 1998 Corvette Indy 500 Pace Car Convertible / Limited Edition / FM DISCONTINUED / 1:24th Scale

Similar in build to the current 1998 convertible in silver, the Pace Car has the rear axle half shafts, missing from some of the older 1997 models. The CD sticking out of the CD player, missing too from some earlier cars is here. But gone from the center of the doors are the rub-strip moldings. In place instead are the Indy 500 graphics running from the cove, back to the rear wheel, up and over the trunk, tapered now into pin stripes. The hood is treated to the Pace Car graphic artwork in brilliant yellow with red and gold pinstripes intertwined among white and purple paint. The yellow carries over unto the 'Corvette' printed on the windshield header and into the interior. The seats are yellow and deep charcoal with Indy 500 logo floor mats.. Also new is the rear license plate. It proudly displays 1998 Indianapolis plates; 'Indy 98'. The limited edition plaque is affixed in the trunk and reads xxxx/9800.
