Too bad we don't have any 60s Vettes in N scale.

We live in a different time, I know, but it's still difficult to fathom moving that many Vettes unprotected. Lil'Red Corvette, anyone?

Is that a T&P rack? Hard to see the road clearly, but I'd think that in of itself would qualify as rare.

auto racks are such fun.

at 5 bucks per 'vette... that is a 50 dollar load
the rack or one very similar is/was available.

It looks like T&P to me.

Well, maybe not the exactly the right year and style, but we do have them...

Google is your friend.  (I mean, for a big evil company, they are very useful.)

It's really hard to tell but they look like 63' or 64'.  Top right looks like a factory hard top, nice.

Maybe Rasputen can shrinkray the right model to replicate the load. His prices are good, though all that empty space may cause issues.
