koenig-tomMaisto 1965 Chevy Corvette, Blue 31640 - 1/18 Scale Diecast Model Toy Car

Maisto 1/18 scale die-cast cars are generally very good to excellent for the money. This one is no exception. The paint finish and opening panel fit are very good. The working suspension springs and steerable front wheels are a nice touch. My example was a particularly good deal, as I purchased from Amazon warehouse for a nice discount off the current Amazon Prime price. The car and its display box were in indistinguishable from new condition.As with most 1/18 scale die cast models this is meant mainly to be a display model. It could work as a toy in gentle play, but even then, some detail parts are bound to break off. The working suspension and steering would likely hold up to drops of an inch or so, but no more.My 1965 Chevrolet Corvette came in the Blue as advertised . I also have a silver one as my wife inexplicably found the silver to be the more attractive, so the silver was kept , and now I also have the blue I prefer.

I actually owned the real car with this similar paint job back in my 20s. I could not afford to hang onto it, but it sure was fun to drive! This is a reminder and keepsake for ne. Nice detailing. Quality assembly!

The pictures looked great, but unfortunately a porch pirate stole the packaged , The post office had marked it as delivered. I went to the front of our building thirty minutes later and it had been stolen. Someone has it out there.... Not a great Christmas Story. Paul

The outside is nice. My main complaint that all the plastic interior pieces look very cheap and are flimsy. The steering wheel looks like it’s about to snap off at any min. I almost wish the doors didn’t open so I wouldn’t have to look at the poor quality interior.

Really a nice gift. I’m a bit older than my grandchild and I would like one !!
