Thanks. The movie also features a Fiat 500

From the mind of Hunter S Thompson

Amber Heard

Haven't been to a show house since "Electric Horseman".....I'm gonna see this one.

Hmmm I like the idea Deppster has the same car as me !
I'm just wondering the director gave him the car because he worked so hard acting in the film. I never knew acting was hard work. Earn millions for remembering a few lines and being able act out a roll is "NOT" hard work and certainly doesn't deserve the rewards that this actor earns (Corvette on top of all the coin). I hope he enjoys the free car that I had to friggin kill myself to own. Geezez I'm sounding like a banting jealous freak ! I guess I am !
Good luck to Jonny I'm just a bit peed off he's not a car guy and now owns a 59 Vette that will most certainly sit in a shed and never be used !
I guess I'll watch the film because I'm a car guy and my misses will wan't a perve at spunky Jonny Depp ! (never met a woman that doesn't get wet over Jonny Depp ! Stewy

Don’t worry, he won’t keep it....it represents Americana and he finds that highly offensive (he resides in France because that better suites him). He'll sell it and buy some green piece of crap to make his conscience feel better that he did something for the planet by buying a car loaded with batteries. He's a great actor, but what a tool.

And......she could push on my knee (or anything else) anytime!

Agreed, it'll end up on the auction block (Charity or otherwise) within 3 months while the movie hype is still abuzz. If he does drive it over there, hope he stays off the hairpin turns in Monaco !

Wow, you sure know alot, his wife is french, that may have something to do with it? In europe, privacy is regarded highly, notice laws controlling Paparazzi activities, photographing and chasing of stars children, etc, they have google earth on the run!
The guy couldnt go for a starbucks without a parade in LA. He must live there for the low taxes!

Do some research on Depps anti American views and comments, and as for the "more refined European paparazzi", ask Princess Diana how that ride to Starbucks in France went.
Great actor. But a real douche.

I am sure the C1 is an affront to his hostilities towards the Bourgeoisie.

The C1 is defiantly Bourgeois.

I noticed that when Scissorhands came out, all the girls had to go see it, I don't have a clue why.

Look at it this way, at least there's a 59 corvette in the movie! Also, the car will stay in America. Maybe we will see it go for over 100k at BJ auction with all of the proceeds donated to charity. You never know... Btw - I think Depp is into 50-60's cars.

Default 51 Merc

I don't agree with his politics but he also has a 51 merc he had redone. The lead sled type. To each his own.

I saw the same show about his 51 Merc, they said he's had it for years. I guess he must be a little bit of a car guy.

Yeah I think that car was used in the movie "Cry Baby" back in the early 90's
