About the Chevrolet Corvette C2 Blue Grey Metallic AUTOart 1:18

TL;DR: AUTOart's 1:18 diecast Corvette C2 recreates the Sting Ray generation in Blue Grey Metallic, doors opening on the metal shell. Used example, box showing traces of storage. The C2's sharply creased body marked a total design break from the rounded C1.

Where the C1 was all curves, the C2 arrived with creased fenders and a fastback profile that made every earlier American sports car look instantly dated, and that contrast is worth seeing in metal, not just photographs.

AUTOart's Handling of the Sting Ray's Sharp Lines

The zinc alloy body sits with real weight in the hand, and AUTOart's tooling holds the C2's distinctive fender creases and pointed nose crisply, a genuine test given how sharply those lines break across the surface. Blue Grey Metallic is a subtle choice that lets those creases catch light differently panel to panel rather than washing out under a flat colour, and the gloss carries consistent depth across the long bonnet. Doors open with hinge resistance that feels engineered, revealing a cockpit-style cabin with the driver-focused layout the C2 introduced to the Corvette line. Panel gaps stay tight along the pointed tail, and the model's stance sits low and purposeful on its wheels. As a used piece, wear is confined to the storage-marked box.

The Sting Ray's Design Significance

The second-generation Corvette introduced the Sting Ray name and a body shape credited to designers working under Chevrolet's styling studio, and it remains one of the most influential American car designs of the 1960s. Where the C1 borrowed cues from European roadsters, the C2 established a genuinely American sports car identity that later generations kept referencing. On a shelf tracing Corvette history, this is the generation where the model line found its own visual voice, and it sits naturally beside period European rivals as proof American design had caught up on its own terms.
