CORVETTES ARE KID STUFF; for teen enthusiast.(News)
Byline: -JEFF SABATINI
The birthday party is over, and now the Corvette must face up: It's old. Of course, for a car, this isn't much of an issue. Cosmetic surgery in the form of a model revision has revealed a new face for the 50-year-old car. Corvette enthusiasts, a collectively graying lot, don't have it quite so easy.
How refreshing then, to come across a Corvette collector only in his teens. David Rusthoven won't get his driver's license until Feb. 27, yet the precocious 15-year-old from Monee, Illinois, has already won awards at Chevy Vettefest, Corvettes at Carlisle and the National Corvette Homecoming.
There's just one thing-his Corvettes are made of cardboard.
Rusthoven said he has been building car models out of cardboard since he was just seven years old. Lest you fail to be impressed-who hasn't built a model car?-note that Rusthoven's three Vettes (a white '53, a yellow Z06 and a maroon 50th Anniversary model) are life-size and built from scratch. And no, dad didn't have a garage full of Corvettes for son to copy; Rusthoven took measurements from 1:18-scale models and figured out the rest on his own.
