It's interesting to see how tastes change over time. I often get lots of compliments on the Riverside Gold of my car...but it was about the least popular color back in '69 and was dropped after one year.

Same here, but I must say, that my factory paint is very bad.
Here in Denmark we do have a lot of red and Black. We don't see many Riverside Gold here.

Here is a Pictures from last weekend, with my big Brother.

PeteZO6, if that's your car those are the photos I showed the wife on the 52" screen. She was afraid when I said gold it would be bright gold.

No PO2 here though.

Dan, yes, that is my car. Bought new in San Francisco, not far from you. I was IT in the Bay Area too before I aged out.

Your Corvette is a beauty. I especially like the black tires. Next time I replace the tires, the white lettering will be blacked out and mounted inside.

The is a link in my sig to a full page of photos of my RG '69 over the years
