Disney's "Cars" and Corvettes

[Joe C.]

I've just now returned from enjoying this animated gem of a tribute to Route 66, NASCAR, Richard Petty, 1949 Mercs, 1951 Hudson Hornets, simpler times, friendships, and all things automobile related. It is a delightful movie which left me happy, sad, and misty eyed.........I highly recommend it for anybody who loves cars.

Just to keep this post Corvette related, there are 2 notable tributes/references to Corvettes in this flick. First is when the lead character, a young aspiring NASCAR talent (portrayed as an amorphous NASCAR aerobody with slight resemblance to a Mazda Miata), asks the female lead (fittingly,a Porsche Carrera) whether or not she ever had "eyes" for any good looking Corvettes. The second reference comes when the lead character's newfound friends decide to give him a "makeover". This includes a new paint job sporting white coves just like many '56-'61 Corvettes.

PS: I hope that I might have missed some more Corvette references. If I have, then please add them on.

My first car -- 1950 Hudson, and one of three non-GM cars I have owned in my lifetime. And the only one I sold for a profit.

I Really Enjoyed That Movie... I Found It...

...actually had some substance, was well researched, well done, well cast and I got to go with my 4 year old grandaughter who had already seen it and recommended that I go with her to see it. Is there anything out there much better than that...??? Best, Dennis
