‘Corvette Forum’ Holiday Gift Guide 2019

Looking for the perfect Corvette-related gifts? We’ve rounded up ten of our favorites.

The fire is crackling, the chestnuts are roasting, the sleigh bells are jingling, and the tree is lit. Now you’re ready to find that just-right gift for the Corvette fan in your life. We’re here to help.

We’re constantly on the prowl for cool Corvette stuff, and we’ve got ten great picks here, for just about any budget. Without any further ado, here are our picks for the 2019 edition of the Corvette Forum Holiday Gift Guide.

Corvette Stingray Light-Up Shelf — Summit Racing — $130

This neat little shelf is a scaled-down replica of a 1963 Corvette’s nose. Measuring 19 1/2″ wide, it’s the perfect place to display some of your favorite Corvette die-casts or a few small car show trophies. Best of all, the lights actually work! The LED headlights are powered by three AA batteries.

Mothers Power Cone Precision Polisher — Advance Auto Parts — $27

Chrome bumpers and aluminum wheels look best when they’re polished. It’s a shame that the polishing process is so tedious and painstaking. No more! Just chuck the Mothers Power Cone into your drill, pick your favorite polish, and off you go. The Power Cone can polish even the most complicated spoked wheels to a mirror shine in minutes flat.

You’re not just giving the Corvette lover in your life the Power Cone — you’re giving them hours of their life back. That’s more time for them to clean the dishes, take out the trash, and weed the garden. Gift smart — make your gifts work for you, too!

Personalized Museum Brick — National Corvette Museum — $650

Has your favorite Corvette fan ever dreamed about being a part of the National Corvette Museum? Well, the museum offers a chance to do just that. You can buy a brick, engraved with the image and message of your choice, that you’ll be able to see each time you visit the museum. For an additional charge, they will even cut a second brick that you can display at home!

1:18 Scale 1967 Corvette Coupe Diecast Model — Summit Racing — $66

Only a lucky few have a real ’67 Corvette sitting in the garage. For the rest of us, highly detailed die-cast models like this one will suffice. With the staggering amount of detail on this model, you’d swear it was the real thing — only much smaller.

1:25 Scale 1970 Corvette LT-1 Plastic Model Kit — Hobby Lobby — $30

For those who prefer to build their own models, we salute you. It’s a fun, relaxing, and rewarding hobby — especially when it’s too cold outside to work on the real Corvette in the garage. If that describes someone on your list, then this kit is just the ticket. To make this gift really special, pick up some nice lacquer spray paint and clear coat to go along with it so that they can give the body a finish that will really pop. You pick the color!

Husky 30 Piece Ratcheting Wrench Set — Home Depot — $60

Ratcheting wrenches make working on your Corvette far easier, especially when there’s limited space — which is the case more often than not. This is, simply put, a huge set of wrenches.

A full set of SAE and Metric wrenches are included in common sizes, as well as a smaller set of stubby wrenches for when things get really tight, like under the dashboard or deep inside the engine bay. Husky tools may be inexpensive, but they’re good tools and they come with a lifetime warranty.

Steve Magnante’s 1001 Corvette Facts Book — Summit Racing — $36

Steve Magnante is, simply put, the preeminent authority on classic American cars. He’s written for some of our favorite car magazines over the years, and his knowledge of cars — Corvettes in particular — demands respect. In this book, he shares 1,001 incredible Corvette facts you can use to entertain your friends and win the trivia contest at the next Corvette club meet.

Corvette Evolution Wooden Wall Decor — Hobby Lobby — $15

We’ve had our eye on this sign each and every time we’ve been at Hobby Lobby. One day, it’s going to come home with us. Each generation of Corvette is represented up through the C7. C1 through C6 is white, while the C7 is red. It’s pretty classy looking, and seems even more special now that C7 production is over.

Griot’s Garage Starter Car Care Kit — Griot’s Garage — $70

Your Corvette deserves the best. We’ve been using Griot’s Garage products to keep our Corvettes looking their best for over a decade, and we can confidently say that it’s the greatest stuff around. This kit includes the basics, from their excellent car wash formula and spray detailer to a BBS-approved wheel cleaner, Best of Show wax, and more. Once you try Griot’s, you won’t trust anything else on your Corvette.

Flat Stoppers Race Ramps — Corvette Forum Store — $255

Did you know that Corvette Forum has a store? Now you do! We have nearly everything you could ever want for your Corvette, from shift knobs to car covers and more. These ramps help to prevent your expensive tires from developing flat spots while your car is in long-term storage. These would make a great gift for any Corvette fans up north who put their cars away when the snow begins to fall.
