Tally Ho

Green was not offered as a factory colour. Just an observation I made today while going through my diecast Corvette collection.

All ways thougth GREEN was rare though out the Corvette era.

Neat observation

BLU JET 07

I wish they had offered a Polo Green or Bowling Green color sometime during this soon to be previous generation

Tally Ho

Not as rare as you'd think.

C1 = 56,57,60
C2 = 65 thru 67
C3 = 68 thru 76,79,80,82
C4 = 90 thru 96
C5 = 97,98,00,01

It was the number one colour choice in 67 and 68.

But interesting that the C6 will not have been green....

Funny, I was thinking about the "green" thing yesterday while watching the NHRA Nationals and they showed the new Hard Candy Green and Purple colors on the Harley-Davidsons. Maybe a green will make it on to the C7 sometime.

A forrest green would have looked good.

I don't miss it though...

I've always maintained the proposition that the Corvette should have a dark green, a dark brown, and a dark blue
as recurring color choices.

I had a laugh with a guy I contacted selling his polo green C4 who was complaining about the difficulties finding a buyer when I was selling my similar dark rose (metallic purple) C4 at the same time.

The less popular colors look great, but when it gets down to brass tacks, nobody really wants to actually own the off color cars. I would be hesitant to buy one again just because of the resale issues. When the car is 15 years old and cheap, it doesn't matter too much.

I'm sure I'll get laughed out of the room, but a synergy green C6 (like from the Camaro) would have been cool as a limited run car. And actually I think a dark green with the silver stripes from the 60th anniversary car would have made for a very nice throwback look.

And actually, there was a pace car produced in green (probably two cars as they typically do). So technically, a couple C6 Z06's are green and even run on E85:

I like the green combo

There was also a dark green white striped gs pace car as well

I imagine if the bean counters at GM thought that Green would be a popular color...you would have a Green C6.

Green looked good on the c4, not so much on the c3 or c5. IMO, don't think it would look that great on the c6. I don't miss green anymore than I miss brown.

except for brown. I've never been a brown fan on any car.

Supersonic 427

I remember seeing a Brown '79 Coupe and a two tone Tan and Brown '81 Coupe.........

While I would never label a factory color ugly, I think Corvette Brown came pretty close. And, I predict we will see a dark green on the C7.

...guess I'm in the minority re: factory brown.
