Default Best Looking Vette of All Time

Now that we have had a bit of time to digest the looks of the C6 lets see what we think the best looking Vette of all time is.

History will have to put the C5 into perspective. I didn't like it at first, and still think it has some odd angles, but I think my MY vert is damn close to the prettiest, and not just cause it's mine. In fact, I'm concerned that the black C6 vert I have on order will not be as nice looking as this car - buy hey, you have move on - right?

I guess my other choice would be a 67 big block (love the 427 hood)

You will get a different favorite with just about every generation forum you post this poll. My favorite is the Mid Years.

'68-'72, but it has to be a roadster, and metallic blue if you can manage.

The midyear coupe has always been it for me. The way the lines flow together.....its a tremendous piece of work.

Cool, fun poll. It's kind of like picking a favorite child. They're each different, each has its good points and bad points. I'd say best looking is the C2. I'd like a vette for a daily driver though. For that I'd rather own a C6. Modern cars are more reliable, and more fun to drive. I imagine there would be a massive difference in cornering.

I am really liking the C6 but I am torn between it and the C2. I'll vote when I decide.

Midyears are the most aggresive/strong looking, but the sharks are the sexiest.

Modern cars are more reliable, and more fun to drive.

I don't know about more fun to drive nothing can beat looking over the dash a see a big buldge in the hood that says 427. when you drop he hammer and put in the 1st gear, and all it can do is make you

I have a C5 but I voted C2. I really like the lines on that car.

My first choice is in my sig...

Second choice would be a black '63 SWC... or the original Grand Sport.
