Finally got my chrome bumper C3

I have owned my 79 for about 3 years and love it. I learned a ton about the cars from it. But I just loved the look of a chrome bumper C3. Well today I finally got it. A 72 convertible. 4 speed car. It has PS and Tilt/ Tele wheel. Runs great. I love the yellow with black top and interior.

Thanks for the nice comments. I wish the weather was not getting colder so I could drive it more before winter.

WOW! You did well. When I trade "up" I want to go the same direction. Chrome bumpers.

One of the things that made me choose my 72 is that it is the last of the chrome bumper cars forever because it has been rubber ever since and continues today . They are the last of the classic look and yours is a prime example .
