Corvette Summer is a 1978 American adventure comedy film directed by Matthew Robbins and starring Mark Hamill (in his first role after Star Wars) and Annie Potts (in her big-screen debut).Car-obsessed teenager Kenny Dantley (Hamill) helps build a customized Corvette Stingray for his auto shop class project, but the car is stolen almost as soon as it's finished. Kenny hitchhikes to Las Vegas, where he hears the car has been spotted. Along the way he meets Vanessa (Potts), a runaway and self-described prostitute-in-training, who helps Kenny search for the stolen car. | |

Foreshadowing | |
| Corvette Summer / int_9d12bbc1 | comment |
Foreshadowing: Early in the movie, Kenny's shop teacher Ed McGrath (Eugene Roche) tells him, "They're mechanical devices. They always let you down. You buy them, you drive them, you break them, you fix them, you sell them. Goods in the marketplace. Easy come, easy go. Don't get too attached to this car." It turns out McGrath stole the car to pay the mortgage and was trying to stop Kenny from getting too upset about it. | |
