...in the one Elvis movie where he is a ski instructor and is the son of a wealthy oil tycoon and ressurrects(sp?)an old racing speedboat against Bill Bixby, at the end he is in the 1963 "Stingray" racer/showcar with Shelley Fabares(sp?). Forget the name of the movie though, might be Clambake?

Didn't the other girl in the Poison Ivy movie play Roseann Barr's Daughter on the sitcom.

Re: Corvettes in the movies

There was a 1999 movie called "My Teacher's Wife". Nassau Blue 1966 Roasdster. Smal block with side exhaust. A high school calculus teacher drives the car to school. He shows and tells one of students about his Stingray.Kind of a goofy movie but the car is nice.

You are correct sir, and she is now a cohost on one of the daytime women shows (Sarah Gilbert)

"Kiss me deadly" in 1955 had a 54 Corvette in it. I remember watching it on TV as a kid, a late night movie before I was old enough to go out on Friday nights. Ralph Meeker stared as Mike Hammer the detective, the main character.

My favorite still has to be all the early Corvettes on the used car lot in American Graffiti!

Re: Corvettes in the movies

Does anyone have the banned C6 commercial ? (Boy day dreaming about driving/flying in a Corvette)
Can't seem to find it right now.
A favorite here.

Hi Ray,

I found it on a Google search "Banned Corvette Commercial".

See you in July?

Remember The Titans

Marine Officer drops off his son to football practice in a Red 67 with side exhaust and bolt-ons. I think it was a BB. Nice car.

Re: Corvettes in the movies

From the best racing film ever...Le Mans. Numerous scenes of a yellow 68 or 69 L88 being quickly passed by Mc Queens Porsche. May have been the Greder/Beaumont car from 1970 Le Mans race.

Re: Corvettes in the movies

Any comments about the possibility of a real silver 1955 Corvette?

Re: Corvettes in the movies

Don't forget Barbies pink C5 at the start of Toy Story 3 which get laser-ed in 2 halves...

Re: Corvettes in the movies

What about "King of the Mountain" with Dennis Hopper. Guys racing on Mulholland Drive. I think Dennis Hopper drove a Vette. Not sure of the year but I think it was a C3.

Clambake. Elvis Presley is driving one of the prototypes painted red.
