(More customer reviews)Now I must admit, I've never seen Phantom of the Opera on stage or as a movie but that didn't stop me from getting this, as it's a really cool nice looking corvette. It also comes with a nice car cover that resembles theatre curtains which this corvette can hide underneath. I guess the Phantom didn't want to catch the bus as he got sick of getting squashed against the windows by all the fat singers who make up an Opera cast. Maybe on stage the corvette was under the red car cover and is just mistaken by Opera viewers for part of the stage's curtain layout.
The Corvette Stingray is a nice dark grey colour with a black roof, which I guess makes it a convertible (it doesn't fold back). The interior is white as are the headlights, the brake lights are red, the windows are open. On the bonnet (hood) is a skeleton in a robe at the bottom of some stairs with another smaller skull on it. It's a nice image. On the doors is the Phantom next to the Phantom of the Opera text logo. A very nice car!
All the vehicles that made up the Universal Monsters Release 2 series are -
1 1980 Aerovette - just a black car with red windows and no decals give it a miss. It has a Dracula car cover.
2 Hispano Suiza Cabriolet - this is the best of release 2 vehicles, is an old fashioned convertible similar to what Mr Burns drives on The Simpsons and the one that was in the Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade film. It has a bat flying in front of the full moon on the doors and Dracula written on the boot (trunk). The car cover is black.
3 Howlaboo Fantasy Custom- brown dragster type vehicle wolf man themed.
4 1976 Ford Van - Nice artwork reminiscent of the original release vehicles is on each side of this van of the wolf man with a lady unconscious or dead in his arms. The car cover with this one is hairy, it's nice!)
5 This Corvette Stingrang
6 2001 Hummer - A really bad paint job means this dark green hummer with yellow painted windows and part of Frankenstein's head painted on the roof is a bit of a joke. Unless you're collecting the whole series, give this one a miss!
7 1965 Shelby Cobra Daytona Coupe - You've got to look hard at the black decals (sides) and light green (bonnet/hood) on this dark green vehicle to even make out what it is. It's the Creature from the Black Lagoon. There's much better vehicles promoting this guy, one in this series as well as the original that are so much better than this. A light green car cover is supposed to look like scales.
8 1933 Willy's Panel Van- Much better tribute to the Creature from Black Lagoon, the creature is painted onto the sides (along with a full moon) and the roof as well. The logo words are also on the doors.
9 Chrysler Atlantic Concept - Comes with Egyptian hieroglyphic car cover. This dark sand coloured vehicle has the mummy on the doors and some hieroglyphics on the bonnet.
10 1971 Pontiac GTP Judge - Mummy themed again, but this time with a human on the side who I assumed fights the mummy in the film or turns into it.
11 - Lotus Esprit - Marketed as Frankenstein but is pretty much just chains on the side of a lotus.
