Even if you aren’t a huge fan of the split window, there’s no denying that the models play an important role in the legacy of the Corvette. Just ask Stan Finsilver.

When Rick Springfield owned this car it was just a used Chevy so sitting on a fender is no big deal.

I wonder who owns Leif Garrett's Porsche? Or who cares?

Other than a couple hits I was never very aware of him either - but he was in a recent movie with Merle Streep. He's aged markedly over the years like most of us.

Celebrity ownership doesn't mean a lot in most cases. But I do know who Rick Springfield is...

Who can forget him as Dr. Noah Drake of General Hospital?

Oh wait that was in 1981, never mind...

I remember back in the 80's the bichis really loved him...and I guess not for those skinny legs. He was a decent guitarist and had a few hits.
