We're partial to Nassau Blue! Here's our '66 coupe hibernating in Madison, WI. We've owned it just about 41 years.

The exterior is what I'd call a 20 foot car...at 20 feet, she looks good, but when you stand next to her, her paint is faded, some small chips, chrome is so so, etc... but its all original/unmolested. Gonna leave it original...takes the stress out of driving her and worrying about stone chips (I guess).

Post up a pic of your C1/C2...lets see what you got, help the Michigander dream this winter away!

GREAT COLOR!

Apparently most Corvette buyers though so in 1966 as there were 6100 made in this color which accounts for about 22% of the total built that year.

For 1965 there were 6022 made which accounts for over 25% of the total production that year.

No wonder we still see so many in this great color.

Your '66 is sure a fantastic looking coupe Brian-----has the perfect stance. If it's not too much trouble what brand and size tires are you running on her??
