Corvette jewelry from Chevrolet

[Edward M.]

Hi all;

I am interested if anyone has any of the jewelry that was offered with new Corvettes back in 1956 to 1966.

See the attached catalog from Gordon B. Miller and Company. This is the same company that made the Corvette Owner's Pin.

I would be particularly interested to find a pair of the cuff links.

I am doing research for a possible Restorer article.

Keith, it is a Rallye timer mounted in the cockpit or hand held. MG Mitten and others sold them in the day. Steve

Ed, I have a silver c2 charm for bracelet and jacket patch I got from my Chevy dealer in '63. They are packed away after a move. Steve

Not really racing. Rallying. There was a significant difference.

True, but with leather interior, FI, big tank, metallic brakes, and a 3.08 rear end it was equipped, and turned in some impressive speeds at Bonneville in the day.

Here are pictures of the cuff links. I can't tell you that is the original box, because I don't have any idea. These were very high quality pieces.
Identical to the owners' pin without the "owner" along the bottom.
