Default Celebrity C3's

I'm looking for pictures and artwork of C3's to hang in my Corvette "room". Anyone know where I can find classic images like this one of Jimi Hendrix in this 69 ? There must be pictures of Farrah Fawcett and other famous people who were piquing in fame that posed with a C3 in their heyday...

A number of astronauts were C3 owners. Whether it was a special deal through Chevrolet I don't know.

I believe Ace Frehley had a Pace car. I'm sure there are pictures out there.

If I remember right, Ace drove it for a couple of years and then gave it to a relative for a graduation present. I, however, got a pen and pencil set.
The car came up a few years back for sale.

For the Jimi Hendrix picture without copyrightmark and 1500x resolution.

Would be cool if anyone had the picture below in same format.



Are you looking for c3 artwork in general, or pictures of stars and cars?

Britney Spears posed with a lemans blue 69 in one of her albums. I can't seem to find the picture.

Yes I am. Unfortunately, the Red Sox don't have a right fielder this year, or a shortstop for that matter

Cool! Yeah, most astronaughts and pilots love speed. It's a natural progression... I always like that Air Force commercial where it shows the kid growing up always riding and racing stuff...

Barris did one for Farrah Fawcett. You can probably Google that one.

Thanks for all the replies! I have found a number of low resolution pictures through Google, but was hoping to find reprints or hi res pictures i can frame. I'll keep searching.

Thanks Easy Mike. I did find her green 70 with dinky interior - but low resolution images were all I could find.

That is an awesome picture! I've seen an astronaut picture of the Apollo 11 crew - gold C3 coupes - but it was low resolution. I'll search archives
