Here's what I have in my collection so far.

I know I'm missing the 50th Anniversary w/ five cars. They're pretty available on that auction site that shall not be named. What else am I missing?

Jeff this is a cool post. I love the Corvette transporters and semi trucks in general. You have several great ones that I don't have (I do have the '98 and '95 pace car trucks and a couple others). Here are some others not shown above (not all transporters) but still fun anyway.

50th Anniversary Corvette Pace Car Transporter (maybe this is the truck in the 50th anniversary box?)


Mid America Corvette Transporter


Franklin Mint Corvette Semi (larger scale)


C4 Corvette 1:64 scale


Speedway Coca Cola Christmas Corvette Hauler

Thanks! Now I know what else to look out for!

The one in the box is a black transporter/trailer with a graphic of a '53 on one side and a graphic of an '03 on the other, with die casts of each. It's larger than 1:64. It's definitely different than the red 50th transporter you show.

Hi Jeff,

I have the 50th Anniversary transporter too.

There is a place in Mt. Angel called The Depot, they have two that I have not seen before. One is Lionel blue and orange with Corvette and another I don't remember the specifics. They are asking $75 each for them. 503-362-6827.

Hey hey...I just saw this one. There is nothing in Indianapolis...so I'm not sure what your talking about? Are you a trouble maker?

BTW - there is also a red version of that American Drive Dream Tour. Exactly like the yellow one, just red.

Wanna see some more cool Bloomington trucks?

Jeff... I created the artwork for all of the actual Corvette Tour transporters including the 40th/1,000,000th, Collector's Edition, Grand Sport and the Past,Present & Future tours and worked with Ar-Jay Sales of Houghton Lake, Mi. to have the 1:64th scale replicas produced by ERTL.

You are missing the following ERTL 1:64th models:

The Corvette America 3 (pronounced cube) 1992, The gray and silver version of the first American Dream & Drive Tour, the red and the matching yellow later versions of the American Dream & Drive Tour.These last two are very difficult to find. Very few were produced.

Hope that helps.
