Indeed, the episode does talk about American astronauts and their love for Corvettes. Did you take note, beginning at approximately 29 minutes in, of the Corvette that Neil Armstrong (first man on the moon) drove?

Yes............................the real, original, unrestored 1967 427 Corvette that was owned by Neil Armstrong, and driven by James May in this photo, and in the episode.

More to come on this car.

Dare I attempt to bask in the glory by comparing mine? I've owned this car from BEFORE the first manned landing on the surface of the moon. That's a bloody long time to own anything, my friends. ;)
