Roy Orbison's Chevrolet Corvette


Then there’s Roy Orbison’s gorgeous, cherry-red ’67 Corvette Sting Ray ragtop, another car from the Hall of Fame’s collection currently appearing in the Henry Ford exhibit. Orbison was an inveterate car freak going back to his youth. “Roy had a big collection of cars, but he didn’t buy this one until later in his life, during the time he was with the Traveling Wilburys, and had a new album out and was having a career renaissance. He was driving this car around L.A. all the time during that period. It’s a rare model, and highly collectible.”
