Have You Seen This New Documentary About Harley Earl and the Corvette?
Looking for something Corvette-related to watch this weekend? We have you covered with this new Harley Earl / Corvette documentary.
Regular Car Reviews typically makes hilariously snarky (but short) YouTube videos about older vehicles that have unique followings. But, while the team was putting together the script for their recent C1 Corvette review (posted below), they ended up with too much history to include in that video. So they kept writing and writing and ultimately produced an almost-feature length documentary about Harley Earl, aka the father of the Corvette, and the development of America’s Sports Car.

Full disclosure: because I’m trying to wrap up my workday and head into weekend land, I did not have a chance to watch the whole documentary. But it’s on my weekend to-do list based on Regular Car Review’s typical quality and attention to detail. In other words, I’m hoping this will be worth sharing with you all.
