Franklin Mint Precision Models
1988 35th Anniversary Corvette
This 1988 model represents a milestone in Corvette history … its 35th anniversary. Chevrolet built just over 2000 of these all white special Anniversary Editions. All were coupes with removable see-through roof panel and were painted a Brilliant White with white leather interior, white painted alloy wheels and special 35th Anniversary badges.
Since this is Franklin Mint 1994 technology, we can forgive the lack of suspension, working headlights and other features seen on later models. Having said that, the paint is smooth and glossy and the interior is well done. The doors and hood work well as does the lift-up rear window giving access to the storage area. The 17″ unidirectional tire tread is very well done. Though the headlights do not swivel, they are in place when you open the hood. Overall, this is a must-have for the ”Vette junkie”.

In 1988, America's sports car turned 35. Corvette marked the occasion in grand fashion...with a special, Limited Edition model that became a collector's piece the moment it rolled off the assembly line. Only 2,050 Anniversary Vette cars were produced that year, making it among the most eagerly pursued and coveted Corvette models of all time. Now, this classic is ready to roll your way in a remarkable die-cast replica. Every sensational detail is captured with astonishing accuracy. From the steeply raked windshield and alloy wheels, to the special anniversary emblems mounted to the fenders. As a final touch, the model is painted, polished and finished by hand to achieve a glittering showroom luster. A perfect addition to any home or office!
