Don Palmiter first got behind the wheel at age 2…it was his brother’s pedal car. From that moment on, he was the car guy. Today that car guy goes to conventions and auctions. He’s even had his share of impulse purchases. But Don’s never restored a car. Instead, he sculpts Hallmark Keepsake Ornaments. It’s a better investment, he says.

NERDY NUGGET: The ’58 featured quad headlamps, washboard hood, and chrome around every corner, including trunk spears and a streamlined grill. Don took the heart and soul of the ’58 and modeled a collectible after it for kids of all ages to enjoy. His process involves seeing the classic car in person, researching catalogs, and studying archival photos. It’s Don’s little tribute to a big part of America’s sports car history.

Named for a naval warship, the Corvette debuted as a concept car at the ’53 GM Motorama. Only 300 of the original handcrafted model were made, each in Polo White. Five years later, more than 9,000 Corvettes were produced in eight colors with four engine options.
