Default If yours are blue - show them off!!!

My wife favors the C-3's she has seen this past year but she always heads straight for the blue cars. She thinks red is "Nice", but something about the blues get her interest. Can any of you show me a good example of stock blue colors on their 68-82 C-3's. Might make an interesting calendar for me to make her.
Anyway, if you have a true blue auto can you show us a picture or two please and tell us what the official paint code and name for the color are?
Thanks a bunch.
David

Here's mine. It is supposed to be Bridgehampton Blue (979) but when it was painted by a previous owner, they didn't get it quite right.



A couple of others that I saw at a show in September.

LOVE Blue!

In the '80's a Blue Vette was the hardest to sell. Red and Black were the easiest with all other colors lumped together in the middle.

Now I see Blue is much more popular.

Its Le Mans blue. It was re-painted by one of the POs. I really liked that color much more than if it was in its original color (Nevada Silver).
