D&D Corvette was an American automotive manufacturer based in Akron, Ohio, known for producing replicas of the Chevrolet Corvette Grand Sport. The original Grand Sport was a limited production racing car, with only five units built. In contrast, D&D Corvette manufactured a significantly larger number of replicas, available in both coupe and roadster configurations.
The company offered body kits that could be adapted to fit 1968-1982 Corvettes, allowing enthusiasts to modify their existing vehicles. Additionally, D&D provided a round tube frame that resembled the original Grand Sport design, which incorporated modern Corvette suspension and braking systems. These kits gained considerable popularity among car enthusiasts.
In 1998, D&D Corvette sold the rights to the Grand Sport project to ERA, marking a transition in the production of these replicas. The legacy of D&D Corvette remains tied to its contribution to the replica car market and its efforts to bring the spirit of the Grand Sport to a broader audience.
