THE FORECAST CALLS FOR A CORVETTE SUMMER

type='html'>

I'm a fan of crazy 70s car movies and Corvette Summer will always be on my guilty pleasure list of flicks. Back when I was a kid, I really wanted to see this movie in a bad way. What kid wouldn't want to see Luke Skywalker driving a giant-sized Hot Wheels car?  

From the April/May 1978 issue of Corvette News magazine, here's an article on Corvette Summer. Click on the pages for a closer look.

Now that you've read the article, watch the trailer!

Corvette Fever has a post about the history of the car with some fantastic photos. Click here to check it out. There's also a fan site dedicated to Corvette Summer, The Unofficial Corvette Summer Website.

Dog Days of Summer

Since we're in the dog days of summer, I figured why not post some real dogs. My favorite features on 770 Behind the Line: The (un) Official J.Crew Blog are the Pet Portraits.  J.Crew employees are photographed by Charity De Meer with their precious pooches and the results are beyond adorable. Bon Weekend!

Sweet August

Fairest of the months!
Ripe summer's queen
The hey-day of the year
With robes that gleam with sunny sheen
Sweet August doth appear.
