Corvettes of the Rich & Famous Brings Rockin’ Shots of Superstars and Their Equally Legendary ‘Vettes to Pinterest
Rocker Bruce Springsteen famously sings about oozing down the street in his girlfriend’s pink Cadillac. But the iconic singer himself prefers the equally legendary Corvette. In fact, Hollywood’s biggest A-Listers seem to love ‘Vettes. And nowhere is that more evident than on our favorite Pinterest page of the moment: Corvettes of the Rich and Famous.
