    This is a recent release from the third version of Johnny Lightning and another of models not in factory floor collection. This one is a barn find although it looks to be in better condition than most barn finds. Barn finds tend to be in worse condition than they appear as all the insulation on the wiring has rotted away and so on. And the hoarder who is going to fix them up some day won't sell them, pickers versus hoarders.
    Anyway this is a 1957 Corvette. As on the box this was the last year for the single headlights'. Also it is what is called a C1 Corvette which is the first body style of the Corvette. The next body style started with the 63 Corvette.
    Now back to your normal programming.

      That's an unusual idea. Doesn't look like a barn find though. Not enough mice living in the seats

      Thank you very much elanski. It should also have flat tires.
