Movie-A-Day #181: Corvette Summer (1978).

The very first Corvette rolled off the Chevrolet assembly line on this date in 1953. It quickly established itself as the great American sports car, and as a symbol of summertime cruising and fun. “Corvette Summer” tried to cash in on that reputation, along with Mark Hamill’s new-found “Star Wars” celebrity, but in the end it just turned out to be a weak movie.
