Corvette Summer....
Well, I had to do it. Found "Corvette Summer" on NetFlix "Watch Instantly". Before I dive into a critique - has anybody else seen it? Does "Luke" finally get the car? (I didn't last long enough to find out!)

Yeah, Troy - That's the way I looked at it. I own a Corvette - therefore I need to see Corvette Summer.
Anyone know of another "must-see" movie featuring a C3????

Ever see Fast Times at Ridgemont High? Great scene with Nancy Wilson from the band Heart. Stopped at a red-light in a C3, she turns her head and first smiles and then laughs at 'Brad Hamilton' (Judge Reinhold) who's dressed as a pirate. She later married the film's writer, Cameron Crowe.

My parents took me and a friend to see it at the drive in when it came out. My parents had (still have) a brand new '77 Corvette, but we watched it from the back of a Country Squire wagon. That was the only time I've seen it and I remember thinking at the time that it was dumb to put the steering wheel on the right side of the car.
