Hello

I have noticed there are two "Greens" one a blue is more like it, the 56?-57?? (when did they stop this blue hue?)

and the Green Cascade Green? which is a light green. a 1960?(what about 59?61 62??) I noted Danbury Mint made a 60' "Cascade Green".

Can someone shine light on this please?

Thanks

Does anyone have the Book by PIL(Publications International,2010):
Corvette Yesterday and Today?The Car on page 17,looks like a silver-ish Green. ..I got this book at Borders awhile back.



I actually Prefer the 1960 "Green" Cascade Green over the 1956-57 Cascade "Green" blue.

And in the book "Corvette:Yesterday & Today" not to be confused with Gerald "Jerry"Burton's Corvette,Yesterday,Today and Tomorrow.
there is a Picture of a 1960 Cascade Green Corvette.

Here's a 1957 Cascade Green. To me it, at least in the photo, it doesn't look bluish:

1955 copper

56 and 57 were the same tint , later years was a different tint

The 60 color is more than a different tint, it is a completely different color, and it is metallic to boot! The color was the rarest color in 60, but I think is a truly elegant color. It is a highly metallic pale green paint.If I recall correctly, there were only about 140 cars painted that color in 60.

Here is a pic of a 60 in Cascade Green. It is a stunning color that you have to see in person to truly appreciate.

Can someone post a pic of 1960 Tasco Turquise and one of Cascade Green for the 1960 model year?

John McGraw

Here is a Tasco Turquoise 60:

I have a friend with a Tasco 60. I just don't recall a Cascade Greeen 60 offered. My head is stuck in the 53-55 and Zr-1 niche's.

John,

Thank you that is the exact Cascade Green I was Referring to, the 60'. It is very Beautiful and I'd prefer to the other so-called Cascade Green. I know it's heresy.So I take it "Cascade green" in any tone after 56,57 Corvette and 60 Corvette have ceased to exist EXCEPT Kerbeck's One-off?

That Exact same Cascade Green With License Plate EXTACY 60 Is in Corvette Yesterday & Today 2010,Publications International Ltd(PIL) not to be confused with Corvette:Yesterday,Today and Tomorrow(2006,2008 red cover and 2008 updated w/2010 with Silver 59' Stingray Racer on Cover by Gerald Burton "Jerry Burton" Great Book)

I wonder what other books is that 60' Cascade Green Featured in or one like it?

Here's a pic of a 1960 Impala in Cascade Green. I think I've seen this color more than a few times on other GM cars.

60 Cascade Green is a beautiful color in person......very classy.

A very good friend of mine owns the "EXTACY 60" cascade green car. He now lives in the Albuquerque, NM area. He also recently purchased a '57 Cascade Green to show side-by-side at certain shows. He got tired of answering peoples questions about the differences in Cascade Greens.

BTW- Extacy 60 is also a fuelie.

Hey, I can imagine

Question can you ask what books has it appeared in preferably large centerfold?? or complete page, the book I got corvette yesterday and today only has a small picture.

I am sure its been in other books.

RatDog

There are 4 photographs of EXTCY 60 on page 37 of Corvette Classics which was published in 2008.

One photo is a 1/2-page front quarter shot with the top up. Then there's a smaller rear passenger side quarter shot with the top down, a close up of the cove area, and a close up of the shifter/radio/clock area.

I bought my copy a couple of years ago at the Test Track bookstore at Disney World.

The '60 in Corvette: A Piece of the Action on pp 52-53 may be cascade green (could be silver; someone else have the book?). It's a Texas fuelie. It's a big book and the car takes up 2 pages.

RatDog

I have "Corvette: A Piece of the Action" and I'm looking at the 60 in there side-by-side with the EXTCY 60 in the book I mentioned a couple of posts up and the one in "A Piece of the Action" sure looks silver to me. There is no question that the one in the other book is Cascade Green. It's gorgeous.

BTW, for anyone looking for nice hardback "coffee table" type books showing Corvettes and telling the story of their evolution (design, racing, major figures in their development, etc.), ebay is a great source. I've bought a dozen of these books for as little as $2 each. Didn't pay more than $10 for any of them. All are in great condition and most still have their dust jackets. Some of these books have original prices as high as $50. "Corvette: A Piece of the Action" is marked $19.95 on the dust jacket. I think I paid $4 for it.
