This is my 63, newly painted in Daytona Blue, with the Saddle tan interior. I haven't competed the interior yet, so nothing worth shooting. Yet. I have found some photos online of that color combo, will see if I still have them.

Just wondering how do you like your Daytona blue?My car is original Daytona blue and about time to go back original or pant it back red like it is now.

We added just a hint of metallic to it, and I'm liking it more and more. The old Daytona Blue paint was a bit dull. It wouldn't have been my first choice for a C2, but now it is!

This would be my first choice. Looks a bit lighter/brighter than the original Daytona Blue (lighting and camera effects can make it hard to tell in a photo). Regardless, this is beautiful and would look fabulous with saddle tan interior.

If not that, I'd go with Saddle Tan Metallic or Goodwood Green as my next choices.

OP - Go to a GMC dealership and look at Blue Emerald Metallic in person. Its awesome. Would look really good on a C2.

My 2 cents
1. Glenwood Green (not a 64 color?)
2. Satin Silver
3. Saddle Tan
Black looks cool with tan interior but so hard to keep looking nice (IMHO)
