LOL... Got mine Last week, it was fun to go back and watch. I started checking to see when it was going to come out on DVD a few years back when I was at Mid-America Corvette and seen the car on display in their Museum.

This isnt 'the' car but this is one that I saw in Nashville back at the 50th anniversary celebration back in '03. Its not exact, but I always thought it was a pretty good replica even though its slightly different.

I haven't seen that movie in years either. Don't really care for the looks of the car, but hey, it's a Vette nonetheless.
