LEGO unveils its new 10321 Corvette set that celebrates the 1961 Chevrolet model. It is one of the defining models of the American automotive evolution during its era. The set even captures the intricate details including the single headlamp and light accents on each side.
The LEGO iteration is perfect for collectors as it is designed to honor the first-ever Corvette that was made specifically on June 30, 1953. It used the 1961 Corvette as the reference model and has a bright red look throughout. It even has the red damsel mirrors that are definitive of the original version followed by the hard open-top configuration. Other details include the opening truck and hood with the V8 engine replica and spinning radiator fan.
