I liked the "Spinout" movie because of the Cobra! I had trouble finding it on CD, tho. My friend Jack had it on a cassette somehow. I liked "Clambake" where he drove a '59 red Corvette Stingray racer. He played a race car driver again later in the film "Speedway". Lots of cars in that film!

The Volunteer Gap: Thoughts on Why Car Clubs Are Struggling to Fill Leadership Roles, and What to Do About It
With car shows, cruise-ins, tours, parades and varied events across the country, car clubs continue to bring enthusiasts together for camaraderie, preservation, and celebration of automotive history.
