Corvette Mike\u2019s Thundering Thursday<\/p>\n

We all love Corvettes, but there is one man that seems to have taken the collection of Corvette memorabilia to a new level. Charles, got his first Corvette collectable at the ripe old age of 2, a 1959 pedal car, but now just has a photo of it!<\/p>\n

Charles currently holds the Guinness World Record for the largest collection of Chevrolet memorabilia. He owns more than 2,000 miniature Corvettes, from over 100 manufacturers like Hot Wheels, Matchbox, Franklin Mint, etc., and without one duplicate, as well as Corvette-themed posters, soda cans, salt and pepper shakers, nail clippers, stuffed animals, and his favorite, a bobblehead of Betty Boop driving a Corvette. He also drives a 2005 blue Corvette coupe.<\/p>\n

There are so many items in the Corvette-themed collection that he changed the way Guinness World Records classifies car collecting. Anyone can go on a giant shopping spree and buy a bunch of cars, Mallon said. Eventually Guinness created a new category for \u201cCorvette items,\u201d and in 2012, Charles was awarded the world record.<\/p>\n

After collecting for nearly a century, Charles is ready to sell, or should we say his wife wants the space. So, if you want to own a Guinness World Record collection, give us a ring.<\/p>\n
