1961 Chevrolet Corvette USA-1 in 1:18 scale
This is the 1961 Chevrolet Corvette USA-1 in 1:18 scale by Acme Diecast, celebrating the United States of America's 250th Birthday Celebration.
The 1961 Chevrolet Corvette represents a key moment in the evolution of America’s first true sports car, blending sleek styling with improved performance and refinement. Featuring a lightweight fiberglass body and powered by a range of potent small-block V8 engines, the Corvette delivered strong acceleration and spirited driving that rivaled many European sports cars of the era. What set the 1961 model apart from its competition was its distinctive rear design with the now-iconic “ducktail” styling and four round taillights, a feature that would become a Corvette trademark for decades, while its combination of American V8 power and sports car agility helped solidify the Corvette’s reputation as a world-class performance machine.
ACME is pleased to announce a new, limited edition series that celebrates the 250th anniversary of the USA! This series will feature tributes to historic cars that donned the stars and stripes paint schemes along with models featuring decorations that honor our country and countless heroes that sacrificed everything to form and defend this land of the free and home of the brave.

This 1961 Chevrolet Corvette Gasser and 1967 Chevrolet C-30 Ramp Truck are finished in the famous USA-1 high gloss white paint along with the red and blue stripes. The USA-1 logo adorns both doors and is complemented by golden stars down both sides of the Corvette and Ramp Truck bodies.
A portion of the proceeds from the sale of each model in this series will be donated to a charity that supports America's Heroes. This includes, but is not limited to, Tunnels to Towers, Wounded Warrior, Gary Sinise Foundation, Folds of Honor, etc..
