Agreed! Color looks great on that body.

Color is a personal choice and not something to ask others about unless you are a sheep. It is something you choose to satisfy yourself.

Personally I like stock colors on classic cars and midyear Corvettes have a nice selection to choose from IMO.

When I was shopping for my next ultra-modern daily drive (though it would be six years old when I finally bought one) the 2008 Cadillac SRX Black Cherry with a saddle/cocoa interior was the one that I really wanted. The cherry is really subtle but in real life, it's magnificent,

Elwood and 67 Coup...are your stripes painted on or vinyl? Sorry to hi-jack the thread, but love the stripes. Was thinking of white stripes on my daytona blue vert.

I have no idea what the color is called, and the photo does not do it justice, but this blue was spectacular...... especially after seeing a sea of red ones...... though, the red is really nice.....

Mine are also painted and you cannot feel then when you run your hand over them as they have the same number of coats as the body. Also, my painter carried the stripes right down through the vents. But would you expect less from a $14K paint job?

This is the color I am having my 66 coupe painted right now. I think it's a great replacement for Marlboro Maroon.
