    I disagree, as others have said, front and rear do not look close enough to be chevy promo item. Don't copy others mistakes. :D

Just got my 1959/60 body Corvette go cart back from nephew # 1 as his two boys have out grown it....was going to sell it but nephew #4 has stepped up to claim it for his two boys coming up.....so next year it will be ready........

    I guess I should of been clearer on what I was posting....
    The first one is the one that I thought was the one that looked like his , going by the contour of the front fender, but without a front veiw of that one I couldn't say for sure.
    The other ones were just ones that popped up while doing a search , and I am aware the front is different, as is the rest of the car, being the front view is definitely visible and quite easy to see that it is different .
    That is why I mentioned doing a search ...to let him know that the info that he is looking for could be there, and the direction of a amusement park ride is probably a good place to start.
    Going by what was being posted so far I just thought that first one in my post looked , to me , closer to his ....just a observation and a suggestion.

    Sounds like you got a bargain. Cool, even if it's not a Corvette. Looks more like Ferrari to me.

    Yup, looks far more Ferrari like, which is the style that the early 'Vettes emulated.

    Remove the bumpers from a '56 or '57 'Vette, put a '55 Chevy passenger car egg crate grill on it and you'll see just how Ferrari like they are.
