What Really Happened to the Corvettes from Route 66

Before Knight Rider or The A-Team, there was Route 66 — the show that made America fall in love with the open road. Every week, Tod and Buz crossed the country in a brand-new Chevrolet Corvette, turning the car itself into a TV legend. But behind the scenes, the story of those Corvettes was just as fascinating as what happened on screen. From the color tricks used for black-and-white filming, to the hidden fleet of brand-new cars swapped out every few thousand miles, Route 66 was unlike any other show of its time. And when the series ended in 1964, the Corvettes didn’t retire to museums — one even went on to appear in Perry Mason! This is the real story of how Route 66 turned the Corvette into an American icon. #Route66 #Corvette #ClassicTV #Chevrolet #VintageCars #60sTV #BehindTheScenes

What About the ’61 Chevy’s? (1961) Jam Handy Short Starring William Frawley


Barry I. Grauman

Originally released in October 1960. As you probably know, “MY THREE SONS” was primarily sponsored by Chevrolet during its first three seasons (1960-’63). And William Frawley was featured on that series as “Bub”, the grouchy patriarch of the “Douglas” family. Put them together in a sales film [under the direction of James V. Kern, who’d become the series’ most frequent director in the mid-1960’s], add some pretty actresses…..and sit back and enjoy.
