Re Jessica.... there's nothing sweeter than a beautiful woman driving a C3 with the rag top down or T-tops off . (I tell my wife that all the time! )

Not a movie but a series back in the day. The Magician with his Vette.

Wow, is that before or after her fat phase? Still couldnt listen to her sing twice so I only watched it once. Sure is trying too hard. Looked like a 69 but they had 70-72 seats in it?

Loved Rocky Horror... went to the movies and saw it a million times.

Corvette Fever was a cheesy movie and ugly custom, but it really was the "good old days" in Corvettes. Not seeing a comparable C4-5-6 movie any time soon.

Everybody remembers the T Bird.

Fact is, the first show he had a yellow (?) midyear Corvette, I think it was a convertible. The car was blown up by some bad guy, and he quickly bought the T Bird off a lot.

No one seems to remember this.

The movie "Armed And Dangerous" with John Candy and Eugene Levy has a black 76/77. The move "The Junkman" has a Yellow 81. Let's not forget "Apollo 13" with the red and gold C3s. Oh, the movie "Cannonball" with the Carradine brothers has a silver 76 driven by Robert Carridine. Hope this helps.

I have "Corvette Summer" on video. I can watch it whenever I want. I like the bad guy's T/A more than the 'Vette, though.

The grill, when she pulls into the gas station with her headlights up, looks like a 72?

I'll have to watch it again. It seemed like the rockers were 68-69 (black with top polished trim), had the Stingray emblem eliminating '68, but its black, meaning if its post-69 the whole color is changed. I couldnt make out the side gills.

GM installed the extra special kitty magnet in that car....

I read in an interview that she's the kind of bed-mate that will pull the covers over your head and fart - just to make your scream. Maybe that's what she means about taking your breath away.
