Worst Corvette Color
Saw this on ebay and got flashbacks of my Mom's Green Jello salad.

That's not a Corvette color.It's a color some Corvette owner decided to paint his car...and that guy might (or might not have been) be or was a forum member a while back whp had his Vette a different color every other month it seemed.

The worst Corvette color was that Corvette Brown in the mid/late seventies. I always felt sorry for the poor Vette that was painted that color.

This one gets my vote as the worst ever. It's called Frost Beige, available from '79 through '82.

I like it, but then I believe that sports cars are for fun and there is nothing wrong with self expression in relation thereto.

In retrospect, I thought I once rented a Ford Pinto in that shade of green (showing my age) a quick google and there it was.....

saw that same car - and I think that guy's $8K paint job will cost him another $8K in resale value compared to leaving it the stock color!

I owned a 74 new and a 76 new brown and a 75 buckskin with light buckskin interior. It was diff and hated the orange but owned a 72 ontario orange. Wanted the dark blue that was on the 73 only year available. No whites or at the time everybody and his brother owned red.
