Corvette buffs now have an extra reason to see the upcoming movie Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen. Hasbro recently announced that the Autobot, Sideswipe, will take the form of the Corvette Centennial Concept.
Sideswipe, who was a Lamborghini in the original Transformers cartoons from years gone by, is a “rule-bending but loyal Autobot warrior out to take down the evil Decepticons.”
This won’t be the first movie to feature the Corvette, of course. The Internet Movie Database, for example, features hundreds of screen captures featuring Corvettes, old and new, and their appearances in various movies. In addition, the Corvette has been featured in a number of television shows over the years, also detailed at that same website.
The Corvette has also had its own movie. The 1978 feature, Corvette Summer, starred a young Mark Hammil (who also played Luke Skywalker in a much more famous movie) as a young high school student. Hammil builds a Corvette in his auto shop class in school, but the car winds up being sold. He then spends the summer trying to find the Corvette and recover it, which he eventually does with the help of a young woman.
Don’t just count on movies to see your Corvette. Contact your local Chevrolet dealer and take a test drive today.
