Default How about some VY and Brownstone...

I just brought this baby home (on a flatbed, in the snow), and its a combo I haven't really seen much of so far.

Not for everybody, but I like it...

3LT, Z51, NPP, FE4, Black wheels, Red calipers

Very sweet. Congrats. I love the red calipers on the VY paint. I'm planning to order late this year and plan to do the same thing (with whatever the 2015 yellow will be) - but I'm still undecided about the interior color. Brownstone isn't bad!

The brown goes good with the yellow. Nice car!

Very nice! I've been wanting to see this exact combo on a C7 (VY, brownstone, black wheels, red calipers) for awhile, so thanks for posting.

Thanks guys.....

Now if we could just get this 'polar vortex' to move on and I could drive the thing. Another 3" of snow in the last couple of days here in MN.

The first drive in the snow will take the newness right out of it. My 2013 Leaf lost the newness this winter and just looks like an everyday used car. Shame you had to flatbed it home. Summer is coming. My delivery estimate is late April, hopefully no snow.

I really like the exterior color but I was not a fan of the brown. I feel it clashes too much with the rest of the black interior.

I think it looks decent with the yellow exterior.

Now take that baby to an empty parking lot and do some hard-core donuts.

When you get a Corvette, especially a new C7 (even though I am also a big fan of C1s and C2s), there are no bad colors, only jealous admirers!

As a wee lad back in 1976, I got a ride in my first Vette with a neighbor. It was Bright Yellow with a Dark Brown interior. I guess you never forget your first time....

I doubt I see many more at car shows like mine.

Congrats on your new C7, hope the white stuff melts soon and you get to drive it on warm dry pavement [same predicament in MN, waiting for my C7, no hurry, cannot drive my C6 anyway].

My first vette was a 1976 yellow with brown interior. The seats were kind of a brushed corduroy with leather. I loved that car and even bought the same seats for another vette that I had lots of work done on. Never forget the first one!

Nice color combo Aerohead haven't seen many pictures of the Brownstone interior.I order my 3 LT Z51 in Torch Red with the Brownstone Interior so hope it looks good.

Should be beautiful.... that was my second choice, but I just had to be a little different with yellow/brown. I'm too much a child of the 70's I guess

Well I saw red, and black in yellow C7's. The Brownstone, in my opinion is the best in the yellow.

Then again I think it is the classiest of all the colors this year, and it looks great in Yellow, White, Green and Laguna blue

Hello Aerohead,

Congratulations on your new addition! I like the color combo as well! I hope you get a chance to drive it soon when the weather allows it.

That's a unique combo (interior and exterior). But so far I haven't seen a bad color combo in the C7. I think you could mix any of the interior and exterior colors and it will look nice.


Cheers.
