car when a young man came into the museum with some pictures of a middle-aged couple and the Corvette Summer car in front of their home in Southern California. The couple apparently bought the ‘73 from a young lady who had been driving the movie Corvette on the streets.
Driving the Corvette is a chore. The Grant GT steering wheel does not tilt and provides little room for entry or comfortable cruising. Making driving even more difficult is the steering wheel placement, on the right-hand side. In the movie, Dantley converts to right-hand drive to be closer to the girls as he cruises the streets, especially on Van Nuys Boulevard.
