The 2025 Corvettes Coast to Coast show in Bunnell, Florida, brought together a wide mix of Corvette enthusiasts, hosted by the Flagler County Corvette Club.
I filmed eight C3s at the event, each with its own story. Among them was a striking Daytona Yellow 1970 454 coupe recently purchased at Mecum Kissimmee, along with a familiar car from the 2024 Spring Daytona Turkey Run: the “Jack and Diane” Corvette, said to have once belonged to John Cougar Mellencamp.
This C3 has become part fact and part folklore, rumored to have appeared in the “Jack & Diane” music video and to have been owned by Mellencamp.
The only claimed proof is a fax—very fitting for the 1980s—but where it came from remains unclear.
Whether the story is fully accurate or not, it remains a fun piece of Corvette lore and is worth taking a closer look at.
