Re: Anyone watch Corvette Summer? (81Vette_by_eric)
Im gonna show my age here. I actually paid to see it when it was first run in theatres
I saw it again about a year ago on TV
Personally, I didnt think it was that bad a movie. I just took it for what it was worth: A mindless journey
Lotsa folks dont like the car. I wouldnt have one, but from what I could see on film, I appreciate the work that went into it

Re: Anyone watch Corvette Summer? (stingray_76)
gonna have to get my hands on death race 2000....wonder if the local video store has it. i had to order corvette summer from amazon.
here is another pic of the car. lose the big nose and hood piece, paint it black and you have a nice looking car. gotta keep the flip up lights. the side pipes are cool. i like the 2 and 2 headers on it. the flairs on the rear wheels looks good to.
peice of trivia....The movie "Corvette Summer" premieres, in Maumee, a suburb of Toledo, Ohio. Terry Michaelis, of T. Michaelis Corvette Supplies, Inc. arranged to have the world premiere there, and raffles off a 1978 Corvette Indy pace car replica. Plus, every Corvette in the country was invited to the party. The Corvette parade set a new mark in the Guiness Book of Records, at somewhere between 5000 and 7000 Corvettes. [9] [63.53] [130.95] (May 20 [135.9]) (1973 [177.41])
I'm sitting in Maumee right now. Did anyone here attend the showing?

Re: Anyone watch Corvette Summer? (terryrudy)
The only thing missing from that custom job is the station wagon coversion. Then it would be a complete eyesore. :yesnod:
Actualy, if you dropped that but ugly nose, it wouldn't be a bad looking car. :cool:

Re: Anyone watch Corvette Summer? (81Vette_by_eric)
I love Corvettes, I especially love the sharks, I HATE thatv movie. The thing that bugs me is that when Hollywood producers start thinking about a car movie or of a special car to put in their movie the Mustang is often thier choice. Thats why i thank god for Chris Tucker and those Rush Hour movies. i think i read in Ebony magazine (required reading for the young black guy on the go) that Chris Tucker is a huge Muscle car guy and has quit a few old detroit steel classics. He has a Chevelle SS and an old retored Nova as well as another vette. Dont get me wrong i believe his daily river may be a porshe or something but i though i read he aslo had a trans-am.My point is that the black stingray convertable used in those movies wsa kind of pushed by him as he likes American muscle cars. WEe need more vettes in better movies like pronto!!!

Re: Anyone watch Corvette Summer? (MELVIN)
I was in ninth grade when that movie came out. Me and the guys in auto shop class thought that car was pretty cool. Remember though, big ugly fiberglass stuff was in. It was the seventies. Can-am glass, big fender flares, and oh yes the corvette station wagon. People really liked that stuff. I don't really like it now, but back then i couldn't wait to build one. I'm glad i didn't. Everyone would make fun of me. Anyway i still like to watch the movie every now and then. I'll tell you what Vegas sure has changed.
