I saw the trailer for the movie last night and noticed the close-up of the car's speedo showed the "dots" design on the speedo miles (should be "dashes" on a '59) so thats out of a '58 at least. No front license and bumperette assembly either.
Somehow I think the car is probably a Hollywood "20 footer" and not the best '59 Corvette on the show field, if you know what I mean.
Not sure why anyone would get all jealous about it... the guy probably makes $20M a movie and they gave him a $45k driver as a tip. Whatever.

Its a blip....I was much more upset when West Coast Customs trashed that nice '58 driver on a recent show to make some pimped-out restomod.

Enough. A couple of you need to have a Coke and a smile. Keep your political comments to yourself, or go over to the P, R, & C section of the forum to discuss your political views. From this point on, stay on topic or stay out of the thread.

Hmmm I like the idea Deppster has the same car as me !
I'm just wondering the director gave him the car because he worked so hard acting in the film. I never knew acting was hard work. Earn millions for remembering a few lines and being able act out a roll is "NOT" hard work and certainly doesn't deserve the rewards that this actor earns (Corvette on top of all the coin). I hope he enjoys the free car that I had to friggin kill myself to own. Geezez I'm sounding like a banting jealous freak ! I guess I am !
Good luck to Jonny I'm just a bit peed off he's not a car guy and now owns a 59 Vette that will most certainly sit in a shed and never be used !
I guess I'll watch the film because I'm a car guy and my misses will wan't a perve at spunky Jonny Depp ! (never met a woman that doesn't get wet over Jonny Depp !

Had it for years, and it aint no Ferrari. Nice job by Killer Paint. He just had a small block ford put in it.
This guy is a standup guy that makes 20M a film because he sells tickets. He's earned two academy awards for his work, and a shelf full of golden globes. He's as good at his trade as you are at yours.
You don't like him because the women do? Aaaah, poor you.
This guy came from Kentucky, and worked at a 7-11 not far from me. More power to him.
My only problem with him is that he drives a Ford
Now he's got a decent 50's ride, a red Vette.
BTW, if you're looking for the Corvette in the movie, don't blink you'll miss it. The scene is short. The real star of the flick is the old Fiat 500 that the boys virtually destroy during the movie. This car really brings back memories for me as I had the exact same model, (only I painted mine Corvette Sunfire Yellow), during my college years, back during the Jurassic era.
You haven't lived until you do the dirty deed in a Fiat 500. Almost as difficult as doing it in a Corvette.

So assuming most of you already own a C1/2 which most (inc myself) will probably never get to own and youre jealous because someone with more money has one also?
