What Have You Found To Watch?

Mines a relatively late '68 - (early April 1968). I'm not sure when in 1967 the '68 model started running off the production line.

September. I don't know this stuff but I do have a black book

New models were normally launched from 1st October each year.

Looks really striking in black with a red interior. Perfect Miami car. Cruise south beach then ride up Collins Avenue in the sunshine. Perfect

To me, red on red is another great colour combination. Always liked red interiors.

Black exteriors really suffer in the Florida sunshine. The amount of black daily drivers that look shabby after a few years is amazing.

Ironically, they do nothing for me.
I get it's a classic look though.

To each their own of course.

 

[Nassau65]

That exactly true. That’s why we’ve got some great color combinations on old American cars nowadays. They were all the original owners preferences.

I owned a red red '72 a few years back. Problem is the red is VERY red. Being a Manchester City supporter, the only concession I make for the colour red is for Corvettes

I was worried about the red interior being too bright but it's nice in real life in my opinion. Looks really classy on C1 and C2s.

And there lies the problem with most current cars on the market, whether Euro spec' or American.
Trim colour - a very dary grey that the manufacturers call black. A pale grey colour that thats been modelled on an office or commerical unit. A cream colour thats been modelled on......well, see the previous description for pale grey. You may see a red option that has has a strange pinkish shade. And thats about it......the height of blandness,
Step-up a few notches and perhaps look at a Rolls, Bentley, top end Merc and you'll see more of the above.......not that the manufacturers don't offer alternative colourways - no, its the monocromatic buyers who insist on pure white or cream interiors. You may see an all black interior or worse a combination of black and white unholstery........
Probably the same people who are choosing to install grey double glazing and doors with matching surface finishes and faux grey slate roofs on their houses........

 

[Oneball]

It’s the mk1 Audi TT’s fault. All the journalists were banging on about how brilliant the silver/grey/black interior was. Worst thing to ever happen to car design.

 

[GCorvette]

Not sure if this has been posted, but a fabulous car.

 

[Nassau65]

Very mean looking indeed.
I would personally prefer 1969 side pipes if it was mine.

 

[GCorvette]

I've lost count of how many times I've watched this over the last few years.
Just love his reaction when driving it!

Is your C7 worth a hundred bucks...?

Stunning blue 57 chevy showcase

Body colour is tropical turquoise and the specific white roof colour is india ivory.

A friend has exactly the same car, same color. His was also fully restored. Sometimes we parked together at shows, as my fully restored 1957 Thunderbird was peacock blue with a colonial white hard top. They looked great parked together.
