Hemmings Sunday Cinema – designing the Sting Ray, Dean Jeffries, Fletch

Corvettedev_1500

Chevrolet sure wanted to reinforce the Corvette’s image as a sports car with its 20-minute film introducing the Corvette Sting Ray, what with the opening montage of Euro sports cars (and the occasional Cunningham) and the intermediate break to listen to Dave MacDonald and Dick Thompson driving the cars around GM’s test track. Includes an appearance by Zora himself and plenty of footage of GM techs assembling a prototype from the floor up. (via)

* The late, great Dean Jeffries discusses the Landmaster from “Damnation Alley.” (via)

* And as long as we’ve started with the slapstick car chase scenes, let’s continue with the chase scene from the 1985 Chevy Chase classic “Fletch.”
