Movie Cars: Corvette Summer

 

Corvette Summer is a movie definitely known for its car. This corvette was driven by Kenny Dantley, played by Mark Hamill, a high school kid in love with all things cars. Kenny’s shop class in school has a project where he needs to build a car, and the one above is what he comes up with. A unique right hand drive Corvette Stingray. The car gets stolen and Dantley wants to get it back so he hitchhikes his way to Las Vegas where he heard it would be. 


Now let’s get into the car. This odd Corvette started as a 1973 Corvette C3. With a lot of body work and fiberglass, the car was transformed. About the right hand drive mentioned above, the car was altered to be driven from the passenger seat so Hamill’s character was able to schmooze the girls on the sidewalk.

I hope you enjoyed another installment of Movie Cars. Stay tuned for some more blogs coming. Also if you like learning some new stuff, check out our Youtube Channel, Jerry Noonan’s Auto Center!
