rather comprehensive list

Where are those vintage movies with C-1s in them?

I appreciate the lists and will bookmark them. I'm seeing a lot of movies with C-2s in them listed here but hardly anything of C-1s, C-3s, C-4's, etc. I have a 17 minute movie clip somewhere in my video files of some C-1s racing in a movie. If I can locate the clip I will include it here.

The more movies we can list the better. We can watch them during the winters.

Very interesting site, thanks Harry.

Drew Barrymore made a movie in 1992 called "Poison Ivy" in which she wrecks a 1966 big block.

There's a '58 Corvette in "Animal House". And then there's the girl in the C-3 ('82?) in "Fast Times At Ridgmont High". For some reason, I enjoy those kinds of movies. On the other hand, my wife refers to them as 'mindless humor'! Randy C.

What ever happend with the '66 Conv. Silver, in the movie Con air that was towed and was airborned from an airplane???
I can't believe this was an original Corvette, because when it came down on the grond only the wheels came off.

A female friend says she watches something on cable called "Movies That Don't Suck" which are like '70s-'80s era movies that just didn't make it big on the silver screen. They usually have vintage cars and Corvettes and provocatively dressed ladies in them because the acting is often weak.

Re: Corvettes in movies and television

In the pilot to the TV show "Vegas" Robert Urich drove a Corvette. I think it was a yellow 65 or 66.

The Graduate.

Near the end of the movie when Dusty runs into the gas station to make a phone call there are a couple of vettes parked in the background.

Perry Mason's Paul Drake drove a 60? vette in one episode.

Have a copy of Hot Rods to Hell with Dana Andrews, feature a 58/60 rollbar outfitted vette.

Went through all the pages relating to C2 on that IMCDB link. I feel they missed the '66 (?) that shows for a split second in Bullit (Steve McQueen), filmed in 1968.

At least I think it's a '66 because it appears to be Laguna Blue; convertible IIRC. Steve's being chased by the black Charger, and he arrives at an intersection (elevated freeway in background). He guns his Mustang engine while he waits for an oncoming car to go by. The '66 is that car; mostly blurred.

Anyone recall that ?

Re: Corvettes in movies and television

Interesting and informative links and comments from y'all. The link that Erik Stroeve provided was very good....didn't know there was anything like that and I saved it. I wonder how many of us searched for and watched any of those movies recently?
