Default Blade Silver HTC & 1964 C2 Convertible Side by Side

Got a few pictures of my C8 HTC next to a 1964 C2 STC. 56 years apart in design and engineering!

Very cool pic. Both beautiful cars and still love the looks of a C2 - such a classic design.

If your wife made you give one up, which would it be? And the answer can’t be “The wife of course”.

Those are very cool pics! That blue was a very nice color. My dad had it on his 62 Chevy.

Both beautiful cars !!! Funny how some people criticize the C8's styling for being too busy and crinkled and creased when it's no more so than the C2...

Interesting how the rear hip bulge, which begins at the rear of upper door, is similar. Also similar is the location of the side crease.

I looked at your photos. Was there a C8 in them somewhere? Nice ‘64, very classy.

Too bad they can't/don't do the side pipes anymore.
