FYI...Celebrities That Drive Corvettes
 
Many celebrities drive expensive and foreign vehicles. However, some prefer to stay with American classics, such as the Chevrolet Corvette. This is a list of famous people who have driven, previously or currently own a Corvette.

Television hosts and stars consist of the late Phil Harris, of Discovery’s “Deadliest Catch”, currently owns a 2008 Corvette Z06, and has owned a total of 7 Corvettes in his life.

Guy Fieri, chef on Food Network, drives a 2007 Corvette

Gregg Allman, rock singer and songwriter, loves Corvettes. A 2005 Corvette is what he usually drives, and he has owned 7 Corvettes so far.

WWE wrestler and actor John Cena, has a 1969 COPO Camaro, and a 2009 Corvette.

Coling Powell drives a Corvette

Can you think of anyone else?

I know Bruce Willis used to have a 67 big block roadster, not sure if he used the proceeds fo the sale to buy another.

Not sure if he qualifies as a celebrity but the Detroit Tigers pitcher (Armando Galarraga) who lost a perfect game a while back due to a bad call by the 1st base umpire, was given a new Corvette 'vert by GM. Talk about lucky!:dancer01:

Travolta
 
We have a guy in our club that has a 1965 Vert that was owned by John Travolta. He bought it from the Corvette Store in Tarpon Springs with documentation. Plus it is one of the early '65's that have drum brakes. Rare?

Here's my list...not inclusive of course...
 
I'll mention who I know as either having a Corvette now or use to own one. You might have to do a little research to see if these people currently have one.

John McCain
Tim Allen ("Tim the Tool Man Taylor")
Mario Andretti (ZR1 serial #500) Go figure on the serial #...:hehehe:
Paul Tuetul Sr (of Orange County Chopper fame)...a ZR1 and Z06.
Jimmie Johnson, Jeff Gordon, Dale Jr. (all ZR1's)
Sharon Stone

And of course, numerous Astronauts...of Mercury, Gemini, Apollo and Space Shuttle fame. We currently have two active Astronauts in the Cape Kennedy club.

Zang!! :thumbsup:

Right on Andy. Leno has several. I posted a video a couple of days ago taken of Jay and one of his Vettes. Take a look.
