If you can find a copy of the 1962 Corvette News Vol. 5, No.1, it has a photo of astronaut Alan Shepard and his Corvette on the cover. Shepard is pictured with his 62 Corvette, in front of the GM Design Center.

Take a look at Amazon. They have a few different posters of Hendrix with the Corvette.

I was at at KISS convention years ago and asked Ace about his Vette, I told him I had a white '77, and all he said was it was yellow. The line for his autograph was too long to get into a discusion so that's all I got. I wouldn't doubt he's owned more than one though.

Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker were in a movie that featured a black 1972 vert, I think the name of the movie was Rush hour and probably Rush hour 2 and 3.

Tony C... such a sad story. A great young player who had over 100 home runs at age 22. Also at age 22, severely injured by a baseball that hit him in the face.

He suffered a stroke in 1982 at age 37. Then entered a vegetative coma before dying at age 45 in 1990.

Many think the stroke was caused by being beaned by that baseball.

No Farrah with the car BUT here's a link to the car.
