The Chevrolet Corvette is a two-door, two-seat sports car produced by General Motors for their Chevrolet division since 1953. The 1972 Corvette was part of the third generation of Corvettes, being the last year for chrome front and rear bumpers, vacuum-activated pop-up windshield wiper door as well as the removable rear window. The automatic transmission for the Corvette became increasingly popular, with 54% of all Corvettes sold for this year sold with the transmission.

This casting is a replica of Hot Wheels designer Bryan Benedict's 1972 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible,
