'78 Silver Anniversity. I don't normally like two tone cars but I like that one. I almost bought one back in the day but from the sounds of it, I was lucky I didn't make the deal.
I'm happy with my silver C6. The front end and rear window have visual elements (to me) of the '78. But it drives better, more dependable and even gets better gas mileage.

I love the sleek looks of the C4. Even prefer the concave rear end of the '84 - '91 over the later years. It was the car that hooked me on Corvettes. Next would be the C5 FRC.

'63 has the shiny metal concave center. The '64 is the same concave center but in black.
I believe '65 - '67 are flat and not concave centers.
My '64 came with '63 instruments. The only thing I can think of, knowing the original owner and that he didn't change them, is that this was a really early car off the line in '63 and the black ones hadn't come in yet.

Just for style I liked the later C1's such as the "58 - but underneath, they were just Chevrolet sedans. I was never fond of the C3's but I thought the later C3's with the plastic bumpers were rather unattractive.

Of course, my 07' LMB coupe is my favorite, simply because I own it and that's what I drive now. However, my 63' SWC and my 66' roadster still hold and endearing place in my heart. They were definitely more seat of the pants driving than my C6. I also owned a 60 and a 62, which, drove like dump trucks, fast dump trucks, but, none the less.

I loved my 70 454 Coupe (picture in my Avatar). I liked the earlier C2's but it was the C3 in 68 that really caught my attention.

Not many on here state the C4 as their favorite. But it was a great leap forward in technology for the Corvette. Certainly has its own sleek look for certain....
