Corvette gifts for the owner who already has the keychain
Corvette owners tend to fall into two camps. Some bought the car new and have kept it for decades. Others waited thirty years to buy the one they wanted as a kid. Either way, the car is not just a car, and a crossed-flags mug does not quite cover it.
We have made more than sixty Corvette posters for customers, from early solid-axle cars to the mid-engine C8. These nine gift ideas come from what those owners actually care about. The first is ours: a poster of their own Vette, generation, color and wheels exactly right.

A poster of their own Corvette

A trip to the National Corvette Museum
varies
Bowling Green, Kentucky is a pilgrimage for Vette owners, and the drive there is half the fun. Build a weekend around it.
- 03varies
A track day or driving school
varies
Most Corvettes never see the speed they were built for. A high-performance driving event with an instructor is the safe way to find out.
- 04varies
A fitted indoor car cover
varies
Keeps dust off the paint in the garage through the off season. Make sure it is cut for their generation.
- 05varies
A battery tender
varies
Corvettes that sit through winter come back with flat batteries. A tender is cheap insurance.
- 06varies
Detailing supplies
varies
Quality microfiber, a pH-neutral wash and a spray sealant. Fiberglass and old paint deserve care.
- 07varies
A Corvette club membership
varies
Local clubs run cruises, shows and track nights. The National Council of Corvette Clubs links hundreds of them.
- 08varies
A drive on the Tail of the Dragon
varies
318 curves in 11 miles at Deals Gap on the Tennessee and North Carolina line. Corvette clubs make the trip every year.
- 09varies
A book on their generation
varies
There are deep histories of every generation, from the 1953 Motorama car to the C8. Pick the one that matches their car.
§ 02
Real Corvettes from our customers
Every generation looks different, and owners notice when a C3 has the wrong bumpers or a C5 has the wrong wheels. These four posters were made from customers' own photos. No plates, no people, so nobody can be identified.
§ 03
The right photo for each generation
For a C1 or C2, a side or rear three-quarter view shows the shape best, and on a split-window coupe it shows the window. For a C3, shoot the front three-quarter so we can see whether it has chrome or body-color bumpers. On a C5 to C8, crouch to headlight height and make sure one wheel face is clearly visible: wheels are one of the details owners most often ask us to correct.
If they have a Grand Sport, a Z06 or special-edition paint, write it down when you upload. The badge on a fender is small in a phone photo, and naming it saves a round of changes. Our photo guide has more.

From $59 for a 12 × 16 in fine-art print to $449 for a 28 × 40 in canvas in a float frame, with free US shipping.
