Hey . Anybody know of movies with which our C3s are in?
I found one movie the other day called "Corvette Summer" with Mark Hamill and it was based around a C3 through the whole movie.
I was just curious if you all have seen other movies or shows with C3s in them.

It was a very short lived car in this movie. The car was a '68 I believe. They where flying around a corner in the beginning of the movie, and they hit a pile of gravel, causing the car to catapult through the air and breaking in 2 once it hit the ground.There was a Magnum P.I. episode where a lifeguard friend of Magnum's drove a brown 80 vette.
In Terms of Endearment, Jack Nicholson drove a 78 vette.
In Apollo 13, Tom Hanks drove a 71 vette.
There's a black chrome bumper C3 in Rush Hour, driven by Chris Tucker.
That's all I can think of right now.

Ron, I believe that was a C2.
I've seen this topic come up a few times and never saw this one mentioned. The opening scene in one of the Dirty Harry movies, I think Magnum Force, the camera follows a nice looking early C3 with fender flares for a couple of minutes along the highway until the camera veers off to the bad guys in a parking lot.
