1961 Corvette Signed by Hollywood Stars On Auction Block
As if we needed another reason to want this sexy cherry bomb.
Bonhams will be holding its annual “Les Grandes Marques du Monde” auction on February 8, with 135 of the most rare and most desirable collectors’ cars on the block. One vehicle that stands out is this 1961 Corvette Roadster signed by 20 megawatt Hollywood stars.
The first-generation Corvette is a star in its own right, preserved to perfection, it includes two-tone red/white with black interior, and is powered by a 283 cubic inch V8 under the hood and a manual transmission.
The two-seat, soft-top corvette was purchased in 2015 at a charity auction in Saint-Tropez, France, and was donated by Leonardo DiCaprio. To sweeten the pot, DiCaprio got 19 of his famous pals to sign the dashboard.
The cherry classic roadster bears signatures that read as a “Who’s Who” of Hollywood. In addition to a signature from DiCaprio, the names include: Sean Penn, Ben Affleck, Christian Bale, Orlando Bloom, Adrien Brody, Matt Damon, Benicio Del Toro, Robert Downey Jr., Jamie Foxx, Tom Hardy, Angelina Jolie, Gwyneth Paltrow, Brad Pitt, Steven Spielberg, Meryl Streep, Channing Tatum, Charlize Theron, Mark Wahlberg and Reese Witherspoon.
