The 'Vette, of course, is not only a timeless machine (I've reviewed a few of them myself, but have not actually owned one)..........but, of course, usually doesn't need ads to sell it, along with limited production-runs. Nevertheless, here is a clever ad that I sure at least some of you will enjoy.

(Hope this isn't a repost.....I didn't see it on a CL search)

Great video. Corvette fever really exists more so than any other car. I used to own one and it was special until, like the video, I had to sell it for a down payment on our new house.

Welcome to CL...I see you are a new poster.

In this Car Chat forum, as you can see, we discuss not only Lexus products, but almost anything on four wheels....or sometimes two, three, or six.

The Vette is not just a Baby Boomer car. If that were the case, GM wouldn't be constantly be spending the time and money it does to keep it redesigned and updated.

Nice video with good attention to a lot of the retro details. Bikes, clothing etc.

Great vid. I'll admit I use to be one of the guys who'd bash on vettes cause they were everywhere but that's because I'd never drove one at the time. However, the car looks better up close than from a distance. Now I have one and I love that car. I finally understand why Vette owners keep coming back.
