White Vette's have historically been the largest sellers. If you look at production numbers,..there have been more white Vettes sold every year than any other color.

It took me a while to find a white one and like it alot. I like black, but I didn't like having to wash it all the time.

After 22 months of frustration and thousands of dollars I am faced with this problem. Might as well donate to Goodwill.

I live in West Texas and always prefer the lighter colors due to the heat. Black will burn you on a hot summer day. I don't like climbing into an oven either. Had a black 66 years ago when I lived in NC. Was a beautiful car, though a mouse could walk by and fart, dusting the paint.

You are entitled to your opinion, and I know you don't need me to tell you that so don't blast me for my comment, but I offer that your "observation" is an extension of your personal taste and opinion about white Vettes. Why would every year Corvette, since 1953 be offered in white if white was a detriment? Just my opinion on your opinion.
And what closed the deal for me on my '75 is that it is white.
