Description: Dark Vortex's original re-envisioning of poster artwork for Corvette Summer. Corvette Summer is a 1978 American adventure comedy film released by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. It was Mark Hamill's first screen appearance after the unexpected success of Star Wars the previous year. Hamill stars as a California teenager who heads to Las Vegas to track down his beloved customized Corvette Stingray. Co-star Annie Potts, playing the quirky young woman he meets along the way, was nominated for a Golden Globe award in her first movie role. Corvette Summer was a box office success, making about $36 million at the worldwide box office, on a relatively high budget (for that era) of $9 million.
